Birmingham, AL-based MRO replacement parts distributor Motion is opening a new Motion Repair & Services location in Houston, TX.

The new location is set to open in September.

The 75,000-square-foot facility features CNC and manual machine tools, with lifting capacities to 30 tons and diagnostic and testing equipment. The location is entirely dedicated to repair and services, enabling receipt and cleaning of repairable assets physically separated from repair processes to facilitate best practices regarding contamination. Additionally, the location has offices and ample conference space for customer meetings and training.

Meanwhile, factory-trained technicians at the facility will focus on mechanical, fluid power, process pumps, packaged solutions and field services. The shop’s formal quality program and factory certifications for repair processes help ensure top value for customers, Motion detailed in an Aug. 26 news release.

“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 said. “The significant investment in this operation strengthens our overall value proposition and reflects our confidence in both our people and our commitment to serving the Houston market and beyond.”

The new location joins more than 45 current Motion Repair and Service centers throughout North America.

Earlier in August, Motion announced it will acquire LSI Supply in Ontario.

Motion was No. 2 on MDM’s Tops Distributor’s List for Industrial Supplies, No. 2 for MRO, No. 1 for Power Transmission/Bearings, No.3 for Fluid Power and No. 4 For Hose & Hose Accessories.
