Matt Croson and the Multi-Universe of Gears, Fluid, and Electrons!

Imagine a world where gears synchronize across time, torque, and technology. Enter Matt Croson, the quietly brilliant force behind AGMA, the American Gear Manufacturers Association.

This is the Motion + Power Technology Expo—the MPT Expo—a three-branch evolution of mechanical, fluid, and electric drive systems now converging under one roof like the Avengers of industrial motion.

The mission?

Fuse legacy with the future—one standard, one spec, one revolution at a time. And there’s no better launchpad than Detroit, the Motor City that built a nation—and is now rebuilding the future. (motionpowerexpo.com)

Matt Croson is our architect. With AGMA dating back to 1916, he’s inherited a legacy but dares to rewrite it. Gears are now digital. Motion is electric. Power is cross-disciplinary. This is a time-bending leap into the future of how things move.

In this episode of The Gunn Show—Unplugged, we crack open the Croson codex. Why did AGMA transform its world-famous Gear Expo? What’s happening in Detroit October 21–23, 2025? Why do 300+ companies want in? And what do EVs, AI, and fluid dynamics have in common with a rack and pinion?

Buckle up, machinists. We’re not just taking a ride—we’re traveling through a fourth industrial dimension. And Croson? He’s got the keys to the gearbox of the multiverse.
