ABOUT OUR COMPANY
A history of quality machines that are cost effective for customers.
Thompson Gear and Machine Company - formerly Lindsay Machine Co. - was founded in 1971 by the present owner, and a then partner. Operations started in a 500 sq ft building, actually a garage, with two machine tools and some sundry auxiliary equipment. Today we occupy over 6000 sq. ft. of floor space, with a total compliment of over 40 machine tools. In addition to the common tools found in a general machine shop, we also have a gear manufacturing facility, capable of manufacturing various types of gearing such as external splines, splined shafts, internal splines, bevels, spur gears, bull gears and others.
