New robotic etcher moved in with help from friends.
Lever Gear is growing and adding advanced manufacturing to our in-house capabilities with our new robotic etcher. Our founder, Mike Scully, worked with Mecco to design a robot for our needs and recruited our neighbors at Hampton Station to help install the new machinery at Lever Gear Headquarters. Here is a visual story of our growing business. If you want to learn more about the images, click the bottom right icon to see captions.
