A Day at Gibbs Gears: The Power of True Partnership


Wednesday 16 July 2025, 12:43:12 PM


Our recent visit to Gibbs Gears Precision Engineers Limited was more than just a factory tour — it was a powerful reminder of what makes partnerships in precision engineering so successful.

From the moment we stepped through the door, we were immersed in a culture of excellence, collaboration, and open dialogue. We gained invaluable insight into what it truly means to be a partner — not just a supplier.

Listening Goes Both Ways

One of the key takeaways from the day was how critical it is for a machine tool provider to really listen to the needs of a component manufacturer. When both sides invest in genuine communication, incredible things happen.

Through open and honest conversations, we’re able to:

  • Adapt and improve our machines to meet real-world challenges.
  • Enable customers to achieve “right first time” machining results.
  • Future-proof manufacturing processes in a rapidly evolving industry.

Mutual Benefits, Real Results

This kind of collaboration isn’t just beneficial — it’s essential. For us, these insights help refine our technology and inform product development. For the team at Gibbs Gears, it means they’re equipped with the right tools to deliver precision, speed, and reliability at every turn.

And of course, no visit would be complete without a mention of Reece Garrod, whose enthusiasm and expertise made the day even more enjoyable. Thanks for the warm welcome and great conversation, Reece!

We left Gibbs Gears feeling inspired and motivated — and we look forward to continuing this strong partnership, built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to engineering excellence.
