Association Information
Association Activity : Since its founding by nine U.S. gear companies in 1916, AGMA has grown, prospered and redefined its role. Today, the Association is a global organization representing approximately 400 companies worldwide It has diversified and broadened its services to include both technical standards and business management practices for America and the world.

ORIGINS:
The growing needs of industry for quiet operation, and particularly for the automotive industry for timing gears, created a new market. There were few standards, if any, for non-metallic gearing at this time, and some of the involved manufacturers saw the need for the development of standards for such gearing.

The gearing industry lacked an organization of its own for the development of such standards, and, therefore, several large and small gear manufacturers were invited by the R. D. Nuttall Company to discuss the possibilities of developing such standards.

In 1916, several gear manufacturers participated in the discussions and thus the organization was born. The initial membership of AGMA consisted of nine companies: Cincinnati Gear Company, Earle Gear and Machine Company, Horsburgh and Scott Company, Newark Gear Cutting Machine Company, the R.D. Nuttall Company, Philadelphia Gear Works, Pittsburgh Gear and Machine Company, the Simonds Manufacturing Company and the Van Dorn Dutton Company. They elected an executive committee to draw up a constitution and elect officers and scheduled the first official executive committee meeting for early 1917.

The Executive Committee meeting was conducted; the constitution was drawn up; and the American Gear Manufacturers Association was on its way. The objectives of the Association were stated in Article II of the constitution, which were:

The discussion of subjects of interest and value to the industry in which its members are engaged;
The advancement and improvement of that industry;
The collection and dissemination of statistics and information of value to its members;
The standardization of gear design and manufacture and application; and
The promotion of a spirit of cooperation among its members for improved production and increased application of gears.
The First Annual Meeting of AGMA was held May 14-15, 1917, at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In succeeding years, annual and semi-annual meetings were held, and various communities were formed. Cooperation with other societies for standards was promoted, such as with SAE and ASME. Many of the universities and technical schools had representatives as academic members, who added considerably to the proceedings, as they do today.

AGMA TODAY:
From these modest beginnings, today AGMA is a strong, growing organization that began the 21st Century with about 400 members in more than 30 countries. To support the industry, the Association has a full-time staff of twelve, with a professional management team, consultants and a volunteer leadership team of which all the membership can
