The British Gear Association are delighted to partner with long-standing BGA Member Compact Orbital Gears to host a joint Technical Awareness Day (TAD) at their state of the art facilities in Rhayader on 19th September.

In addition to the great programme Compact Orbital Gears (COG) have put together, there will be plenty of opportunity to network with BGA Members from the leading Gear and Transmission companies, manufacturers, distributors, and academics around the UK.

This will be your chance to share opportunities, discuss challenges and promote your interests to likeminded people.
