Client Relationships and Industry Impact

Serving Heavy Industries Rapid Gear serves a wide spectrum of clients across the heavy industrial landscape. With the ability to produce gears ranging from 2 inches to 200 inches in diameter, the company plays a key role in maintaining and powering equipment of all shapes and sizes. “We produce gearing for almost every kind of industrial equipment,” Tania notes. “That includes everything from mining machinery to massive steel presses.” Building Trust Transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of Rapid Gear’s client relationships. “We’re honest about what we can do, and we stand behind our workmanship,” Tania emphasizes. “If something goes wrong, we show up—and we make it right.” That commitment has allowed the company to build lasting relationships, grounded in reliability and results. Company Culture and Leadership Values and Management Philosophy Rapid Gear’s culture is rooted in humility, accountability, and teamwork. Tania describes her management style as hands-on and inclusive. “My philosophy is that I’m never too good or above anyone else to do what needs to be done,” she says. “If that means cleaning the toilets—then that’s what I’ll do.”

That kind of leadership fosters mutual respect and a positive work environment. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, not failures. “We’re in this together,” Tania says. “When something doesn’t go as planned, we support each other and figure it out as a team.” Attracting Talent In a competitive labor market, Rapid Gear sets itself apart by investing in people. The company offers competitive wages, supports apprenticeship programs, and maintains strong ties with local colleges and trade schools. Tania serves on advisory boards and is active with the Canadian Tool Manufacturers Association (CTMA), advocating for trades and manufacturing careers. “We’re doing our part to make manufacturing visible again—especially to younger generations,” she explains.
