Sumitomo Machinery Corporation of America (SMA) recently announced the acquisition of Riverside Spline & Gear Inc., a Michigan-based gear manufacturer. This acquisition strengthens SMA’s North American supply chain, ensuring faster response times and greater reliability for customers across North America.

The move is part of SMA’s long-term strategy to regionalize sourcing and expand U.S. manufacturing capacity. As industries demand greater reliability and faster turnaround, SMA is increasing its U.S. manufacturing footprint to provide customers with dependable, domestic-sourced support and service. Riverside’s central U.S. location, reputation for speed, quality, and competitive price make it a natural fit for SMA’s customer-focused growth plan. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“We’re excited to announce the acquisition of Riverside Spline & Gear, a move that strengthens SMA’s long-term growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to exceptional customer support. Riverside’s advanced capabilities and strategic location complement our existing operations and expand our US manufacturing footprint. This integration will enable us to deliver high-quality gearing components with greater speed and flexibility – made right here in the United States,” said James D. Solomon, president and CEO, Sumitomo Machinery Corporation of America.

“Aaron has built a tremendous company with a strong foundation of quality, speed, and customer focus. Riverside’s approach aligns naturally with how SMA has grown and served its customers for decades, making this partnership an ideal fit. We look forward to supporting and accelerating Riverside’s next phase of growth through continued investment in its people, capabilities, and technology while preserving the strengths that make it a trusted partner in the industry,” Tony Barlett, VP and COO, Sumitomo Machinery Corporation of America.

Riverside will continue operating as is, with no changes to its leadership, workforce, or daily operations. Customers will experience the same service, quality, and responsiveness they are accustomed to. By combining Riverside’s strength in precision gear manufacturing with SMA’s engineering expertise and nationwide infrastructure, the acquisition creates a more resilient supply chain—focused on continuity and enhanced customer support across North America.
