Miner Enterprises was founded in 1894 for the purpose of manufacturing draft gears. Today, Miner is a leader in the design and manufacture of a wide variety of railcar components including high capacity draft gears, TecsPak® constant contact side bearings, heavy-duty discharge devices, custom unloading systems, and brake beams. Located in Geneva, IL, the current company is a result of the 1968 purchase of W. H. Miner Company and Enterprise Railway Equipment, and has become one of the industry's most experienced gate and mechanism manufacturers. Miner sells products in 56 countries and recently won its second U.S. Department of Commerce award for excellence in exporting.
