The Power Transmission and Gearing field continues to grow and this year’s conference draws attendance from leading industry professionals

sharing of technical knowledge and collaboration on both domestic and international platforms.

prompt the brilliant minds in your fields to continue pursuing the knowledge necessary for evolvement and advancement. This continual pursuit
