Forest City Gear, an industry-leading manufacturer of fine and medium pitch custom gears, welcomes visitors to virtually tour the Roscoe-based company’s manufacturing facilities via the company’s website at: fcgvirtualtour.com.

This recently launched tool offers virtual visitors 360-degree views of 30 plus locations across Forest City Gear’s primary and secondary facilities and highlights the company’s state-of-the-art equipment and capabilities for gear shaping, grinding, hobbing, inspection, and engineering services.

According to Kika Young, President of Forest City Gear, “One of Forest City Gear’s key differentiators has always been a commitment to maintaining our facilities to the highest standards and continuously reinvesting in the most technically advanced equipment available. As Covid-related safety measures and travel restrictions made in-person tours impossible, we were looking for a way to continue sharing that experience with our customers. And while Covid mitigations have relaxed and we’re again able to welcome in-person customer visits, this virtual experience offers broader reach to share facilities updates, new equipment, expanded capabilities, etc. all in real time.”
