Gearbox Express’ 75,000 ft-sq planned facility doubles current plant

By Paul Dvorak | December 11, 2014

Gearbox Express (GBX), the only independent company in North America focused on providing down-tower, wind gearbox remanufacturing services, is building a new, 75,000 square foot manufacturing facility south of Mukwonago, Wisc.

Founding partner and CEO Bruce Neumiller, CEO, cites lack of capacity to support the company’s growth as the major reason. “When we started operations in 2012, we had a vision on how to help wind farm owners protect and manage their assets,” said Neumiller. “Our growth has exceeded expectations to the point of needing to double our facility space.  Owners are embracing the value we bring in keeping their investments running and we need a facility that helps us fulfill our promise to deliver efficient and high-quality customer service from a company bringing dedicated gearing, bearing and gearbox expertise.”

Gearbox Express is the first facility to be built in a newly established industrial park in Mukwonago, Wisc., about 30 miles west of Milwaukee. The new facility will incorporate the same climate-controlled and specialized mechanical offerings as the current location, including its highly flexible, technologically advanced 3.1 MW test stand. The current test stand will relocate to the new site, but an additional plate will be added to maximize set-up.

Construction will begin mid-December and GBX is expected to be fully up and running by the end of third quarter, 2015.
