Custom industrial gears, gearboxes, and field service for equipment repair and rebuild
Horsburgh & Scott manufactures custom gears and gearboxes from three 400,000-square-foot facilities and operates a 24/7 field service team for onsite diagnostics, repairs, and emergency breakdown support. The company is mid-implementation on a new ERP system while working to improve financial visibility and margin analysis — classic signs of a legacy manufacturing operation modernizing its planning and costing infrastructure to support pricing accuracy and profitability tracking across product lines.

Founded in 1886, Horsburgh & Scott serves industrial equipment manufacturers and operators with custom gear and gearbox design, manufacturing, repair, and rebuild services. The business operates across three core service areas: new gear component and gearbox production (using CAD/CAM tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Mastercam paired with CNC and robotic machining), teardown analysis and failure diagnostics, and field-deployed installation and maintenance. The company maintains combined manufacturing, assembly, heat treat, and rebuild capacity across 400,000 square feet. Revenue is driven by both new production orders and recurring service contracts, with a Field Service Team providing turnkey installation, borescope inspections, alignment, onsite machining, and emergency response. Customers are industrial OEMs and end-users operating long-lifecycle equipment.
The company operates 400,000 combined square feet of manufacturing, repair, rebuild, assembly, and heat treat facilities located in Cleveland, OH, supporting custom gear and gearbox production and field service operations.
Primary tools include SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mastercam, Inventor, and Syteline ERP, alongside CNC and Fanuc robotic machinery for production and design workflows.
