Motion Industries Inc. agreed Jan. 29 to buy Hawaii-based distributor Maguire Bearing Co. that’s served the Pacific Rim market since 1955. Founded by William H. Maguire, the company is headquartered in Honolulu with three branches in Kapolei, Kahului and Hilo.
With the aim of helping customers extend their machinery and automobile life, Maguire Bearing offers a wide selection of brand-name repair products including bearings, couplings, v-belts, electric motors, hydraulic components, safety supplies, lubricants and oil seals.
“Motion has been a reliable supplier to Maguire for many years, making it an ideal fit for our employees and customers,” says John McGuire, current owner and son of William Maguire. “We’re excited about the growth potential this partnership will create, providing customers an even broader range of solutions to ensure their machinery and vehicles run smoothly and efficiently.”
James Howe, president of Motion, adds, “Along with its high-quality inventory, Maguire Bearing is highly regarded for its knowledgeable and approachable staff, who are committed to delivering exceptional customer service. This dedication aligns perfectly with Motion’s values and is one of the many strengths our companies share. We look forward to welcoming Maguire’s talented team and working together to grow our business in this key region.”
