Norfolk, Virginia is built on naval shipbuilding & repair, port operations, and coal export. The city's industrial backbone includes Newport News Shipbuilding (the nation's sole aircraft-carrier builder), Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Virginia International Terminals, and Lamberts Point coal pier — exactly the kind of industrial base that keeps gearboxes turning around the clock. Those plants run thousands of pumps, mixers, cooling towers, crushers, and conveyor drives, and every one of them depends on an industrial gearbox. When one of those drives fails, downtime is measured in lost production every hour it sits. That's the problem we solve for Norfolk plants: fast, correct gearbox rebuilds that get the line running again.
We handle the drives common to Norfolk operations across every major brand — Falk, Sumitomo, NORD, SEW-Eurodrive, Dodge, Boston Gear, Winsmith, David Brown, Flender, and more. A rebuild typically runs 40–60% of a new unit and ships in 5–14 business days, with 24–72-hour emergency service for breakdowns — a fraction of the 16–30 weeks a replacement unit can take to arrive. Every job goes to an AGMA-experienced gear shop with in-house gear cutting and magnaflux inspection, backed by our years in the industrial equipment business, and we move units to and from Norfolk on free nationwide freight so you're never limited to whoever happens to be down the street.
Just as important for Norfolk facilities: we buy surplus. If a rebuild isn't the smart move — cracked housing, unavailable gears, or a common unit you can replace cheaper — we'll tell you straight and pay cash for the old gearbox instead of letting it rust in a corner. Plant shutdown or line change in the Norfolk area? We buy failed, obsolete, and surplus gearboxes and gearmotors by the unit or the truckload. It's the same transparent, two-way approach we run everywhere: every price on the table, and we never hold your equipment hostage after teardown.
These are the gear drives most common to Norfolk's dominant industries — naval shipbuilding & repair, port operations, and coal export — and every one of them is a unit we rebuild, buy, and stock knowledge on:
