History of the FHI Gear Plant

Founded for supporting its mother & sister companies, the FHI Gear Plant has been manufacturing world class quality gear products in Taiwan for nearly two decades. In the very beginning, it operated as a gear facility for companies of the Formosa Plastics Groupthe largest manufacturing group in Taiwan--, manufacturing gear drives for its own use with applications such as coal pulverizers, cooling tower fans, conveyors, agitators, plastic pelletizers, mixing rolls, calenders and extruders. Also used its surplus capacity to provide high-precision ground gears to then thrive machine tool industry.

Today, with its modern 170,000 square foot facility full of the most state of the art manufacturing equipment and a highly skilled engineering support team, the FHI Gear Plant has become the No.1 gear manufacturer in Taiwan, also one of the best in the world, providing heavy duty gear drives and open gearing to various industries including Steel, Cement, Plastic & Rubber, Petrochemical, Mining and Sugar industry.

FHI Gear Plant specializes in large, high torque, customized gear drives with output torque up to 4,350,000 ft-lb. We can carburize and precision grind gears up to 98in diameter and hob gears up to 295in diameter. Our in-house heat treat department is one of the finest in the world that all precision heat treat processes are controlled by computers. FHI Gear Plant is under license from Renk of Germany and is a technical member of AGMA. FHI Gear Plant achieved ISO 9001 certification in 1994.
