Bison Gear and Engineering celebrates 50th anniversary

GEAR motor manufacturer Bison Gear and Engineering has celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Bison, which is based in St. Charles Illinois, was established in 1960 by three Chicago area entrepreneurs.

The company began as a producer of gears and today manufactures gear motors, electric motors and gear reducers for OEMs.

According to the company, in 1981, Ron Bullock joined Bison as vice president of marketing and engineering and subsequently purchased the company in 1987. Shortly after, Bison acquired Ram Tool Corporation as the basis for its entry into DC motor production.

Bison manufactures gear motors and reducers in parallel shaft and right angle configurations as well as AC and DC electric motors.
