Gibson Battle & Company was a specialist power transmission business, which represented some of the worlds largest heavy duty gearbox manufacturers, before ceasing business in the early 2000s.

Formed in Sydney in the late 19th century when John William Gibson joined forces with Arthur Edwin Battle, the firm originally imported steam engines for the NSW coal fields, before embarking on local manufacture with the establishment of their own iron foundry.Gibson Battle

Over time, Gibson Battle added various suppliers such as Tsubakimoto (chain), Renold (chain) and Sumitomo (cycloidal gearboxes) to its lineup.  All the while, strong links with the coal industry continued, whilst the company successfully diversified into various fields, including power plant design and commissioning.

Although GB is no longer with us, many of the brands that Gibson Battle and Company introduced into the Australian marketplace have a direct presence here nowadays, so were well served by their partnership.  All Torque Transmissions understands just how the Gibson Battle product range fits into the Australian industrial landscape and are able to identify many long-lost gearbox drives from this era.
