Forest City Gear Breaks Ground on New Warehouse
January 1, 2025
Forest City Gear, a manufacturer of fine- and medium-pitch custom gears, has announced the groundbreaking of a new warehouse. The 50' x 100' climate-controlled warehouse will serve as storage for finished goods, while prioritizing storage space in the existing footprint for in-process items for Cut Teeth Only jobs.
"With this new building, we will be able to be more efficient with our footprint in both the FCG main building and Roscoe Works building, as we will no longer need to shuffle physical product storage in order to facilitate daily operation," said Jared Lyford, Forest City Gear Director of Operations.
Kika Young, President of Forest City Gear, said, "FCG continues to grow and serve our customers. Over the years, we have cannibalized all storage space and part-holding areas for production space. Many of our customers place blanket purchase orders with moving target dates for releases-we must be prepared to ship parts on demand. Of course, this requires secure, climate-controlled storage space for finished goods, which we no longer have available. I am excited to build this warehouse facility on our existing campus to be able to better serve our customers and provide the flexibility they require. The future is bright, and we are excited to continue to grow our business in the best way possible to support customers."
