Summary
Schafer Gear Works is a precision gear manufacturer that says it has been in business since 1934. Its website describes precision-cut spur, helical, bevel and worm gears, other gearing systems and precision-machined components, offered as a single-source supplier from prototyping through production, and notes it is a minority supplier certified by IMSDC. The OpenTree map pins South Bend, Indiana and Roscoe, Illinois; the homepage reviewed mentions three production plants without naming them, so the locations were not confirmed from the company site in this review. Robotics and defense are not mentioned.
