HUDSON, Wis., Feb. 16, 2012 — Konrad Marine is proud to announce the implementation of their one-of-a-kind Total Gear Cutting System.

The framework for the system is the Gleason Phoenix® II, 600HC – the most modern bevel gear cutting machine in the world. Highly specialized, integrated programming makes it 1 of only 3 in the world with its unique capabilities.

Augmenting this framework and its distinctive programming with Konrad's expertise in design, tooling, machining, and proprietary manufacturing processes creates the Total Gear Cutting System – a one-of-a-kind, industry leader in a class beyond compare.

"Our primary objective is to have the toughest stern drive on the market," says owner Ken Konrad. "To achieve this, we need the strongest, most powerful and capable stern drive gears in the marine industry. We started with a phenomenal new gear cutting machine. By adding our proprietary processes, specialized programs, design and tooling based on decades of successful experience, we've created the Total Gear Cutting System. Konrad gears are a very significant contributor to fulfilling our objective of manufacturing the toughest stern drives ever made – and I'm absolutely convinced we do just that."
