Motion Industries acquired assets of Sunset Industrial, a California-based industrial distributor.
The transaction closed on Nov. 1.
Sunset Industrial, founded in 1979, distributes power transmission parts and industrial lubrication solutions while offering services such as make-to-order (MTO) parts, repairs, inventory management, safety training and free local delivery.
“We’re excited to join the Motion team,” says James Stratmann, Sunset Industrial’s chairman of the board. “Both companies are customer-focused, quality-driven and serve many of the same industries, so we expect a highly smooth transition for our customers and employees. This integration will drive new and expanded opportunities.”
Motion president James Howe says the addition of Sunset supports his company’s growth strategy while increasing value to local customers.
“We look forward to welcoming the talented Sunset team and further increasing our market leadership in Southern California,” Howe says.
