Local bearings distributor Bearings International (BI), a division of Hudaco Trading, has taken steps to develop its partnership with two inter-national bearings supply companies.
BI bearings and allied products director Ian Robertson says that the market for bearings is vast and that, because customers have a variety of needs, expanding its distribution portfolio will allow the company to provide increasingly comprehensive bearings solutions for its customers.
The company recently held mutual interest discussions with UK-based ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings manufacturer Phoenix Bearings, which is a subsidiary of US bearing group RBC Bearings.
Phoenix Bearings director Alan Ralph says that the partnership is mutually beneficial as BI is able to expand its offerings to customers and Phoenix is able to reach the South African market.
Phoenix Bearings manufactures small volumes of bearings with significantly shorter lead times than larger manufacturers, as required by BI
