Over three days, ABMA President Scott Lynch presented with Gus Kontonickas from NSK and Dan Szoch from Timken at the Ports of Dallas, Houston and Laredo. At each location, many of the participants had no idea there was counterfeit problem in the bearing industry. Based on the trainings, ABMA was pleased to hear that each location will prioritizing bearings locally.
