History — Since being founded in 1916, Maxco Chain has concentrated its efforts on the manufacturing of roller chain. Initially providing high-quality bicycle chain, Maxco shifted its efforts to industrial chain during the 1960’s. Over the next 50 years, Maxco Chain worked tirelessly to improve product quality.
In the early 1980s, Maxco Chain became one of the first manufacturers to utilize cold-forged solid bushings and solid rollers. This improvement dramatically increased chain life by resisting wear. It would take the next 20 years for our competitors to start catching up with this technology. During that period, Maxco concentrated its efforts on increasing roller chain strength.
Maxco Advantage — Maxco Chain continually strives to make breakthroughs in roller chain design. Combining quality, convenience, reliability, and cost with new technology, improved materials, and an expanded application base, Maxco is ready to provide the highest quality chain worldwide well into the next century. Here are a few features we invite you to compare, point by point, with other power transmission methods.
