Helios Gear Products is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 Helios Gear Schools, featuring programs in three locations across the United States. These intensive courses are designed to provide both entry-level and experienced industry professionals with a comprehensive understanding of gear manufacturing.
- Charlotte, NC: February 11–12 (seminar course)
- Anaheim, CA: February 19–20 (seminar course)
- Chicago, IL: May 13–15 (flagship full course)
The flagship Chicago program offers a deep dive into gear manufacturing, including cutting, finishing, and final inspection. In addition to classroom instruction, participants will benefit from hands-on machine demonstrations at Helios Gear Products and plant tours at industry leaders such as Forest City Gear and Overton Chicago Gear.
Helios Gear Schools are ideal for manufacturing management, engineers, supervisors, set-up technicians, operators, and quality control personnel. Class sizes are intentionally kept small to ensure an interactive and engaging learning experience. Past attendees, like Harrison from Amarillo Gear, have praised the program as a “very good entry-level course,” noting its interactivity and the value of the facility tours. For 2025, Helios Gear Products is partnering with industry experts from both the company and Kapp Niles to offer participants diverse perspectives and real-world operational insights.
