Since the 1980’s, significant reforms have been made in the company’s technological and manufacturing departments and it now produces transmissions to international classifications standards. In 2002 the Advance Gearbox Company passed ISO9001-2000 certification.
Advance gearboxes are a compact, heavy-duty yet light-in-weight gearbox and considered to be reliable in operation, durable in application, and easy to maintain. Mainline has been supplying Advance gearboxes, in particular to the marine industry, since the 1990’s.
