State of the Gear Industry – Last Chance

Your voice is important to us, and we’d like to encourage you to participate in our annual state-of-the-gear-industry survey, if you haven’t already done so.

The annual survey gives us a snapshot of how gear manufacturers are doing – financially, technologically – and in these trying times, emotionally! Your input is extremely important to us and will help us present the best possible results for the industry.

Our coverage will appear in the next issue of Gear Technology, but time to participate is running out. The survey will be closed at the end of the day on Thursday, January 28. Thank you for your help!
