Motion to open Houston repair shop

Motion Industries Inc., a Birmingham, Alabama-based distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and a provider of industrial technology solutions, has announced a new Motion Repair & Services location at 10710 Sharmon Rd. in Houston.

The new shop, dedicated to repair and services, is slated to open in September and will feature a full suite of CNC and manual machine tools, lifting capacities to 30 tons and state-of-the-art diagnostic and testing equipment within its 75,000 square feet. The space allows for the receipt and cleaning of repairable assets physically separated from repair processes to facilitate best practices regarding contamination. Additionally, modern offices and ample conference space allow for customer meetings and training.

Factory-trained technicians focus on mechanical, fluid power, process pumps, packaged solutions and field services. The facility’s formal quality program and factory certifications for repair processes help to ensure that customers receive the best value, the company adds.

“Our customers can access this single source for parts supply, repair and services from a world-class provider,” says Ed Van Hell, group vice president of Motion Repair & Services. “We hope those who have not done business with us yet will consider how beneficial this can be in time and value. We would welcome a conversation.”

“The services rendered from this new shop will enable Motion to deliver more holistically on our vision—to be the preferred industrial solutions provider," Motion President James Howe adds.

He says the company’s significant investment in the site strengthens its total value proposition and reflects its confidence in its staff and commitment to serving the Houston market and beyond.

In addition to this new Houston facility, Motion operates more than 45 repair and service centers throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

With annual sales of more than $8 billion, Motion is a leading industrial distributor of more than 19 million parts and supplies, including bearings; mechanical power transmission products; electrical and industrial automation components; hose, belting and gaskets; hydraulic and pneumatic components; process pumps; industrial and safety products; seals and accessories; and material handling products and solutions. Motion is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlanta-based Genuine Parts Co.
