Recent industry appointment brings growth for Schafer Industries

20 August 2020

Recently, Eric Van Rens was appointed to the Board of Directors on the American Gear Manufacturers Association. AGMA is a voluntary association of companies, consultants, and academicians with a direct interest in the design, manufacture and application of gears, couplings and related power transmission components and equipment. Having Eric on the board of directors will give Schafer a stronger voice in the gearing industry and participate in driving the strategic plan for AGMA. We recently sat down with Eric to learn more about his involvement with AGMA.

Manufacturing News (January 2020) — Schafer Gear Works, producer of high-precision, custom-engineered gears and machined parts for a wide range of applications, recently needed to procure equipment to reduce outside processing (OSP) costs. Equipment requirements included flexibility and the capability of meeting the size range of Schafer’s products. Quick set-ups were a necessity. Schafer personnel determined that the solution was a new, more efficient multi-tasking machine that would meet job shop requirements.
