California industrial distributor acquisition

Listen to this article

Motion Industries, Inc., has announced its forthcoming acquisition of Thompson Industrial Supply, Inc. Thompson Industrial Supply, a family-owned and operated enterprise based in California, has been delivering industrial technology solutions for over 40 years and has garnered a reputation for its expertise and dedication to customer service.

The acquisition, anticipated to be finalized by the end of February 2025, will broaden Motion Industries’ presence in California and enhance its capacity to serve customers in the region. Thompson Industrial Supply’s two locations and 45 employees will integrate into the Motion Industries network, and customers will gain access to a more extensive selection of products and services, as well as the support of a national distribution network.

Thompson Industrial Supply specializes in an array of industrial parts and services, including bearings, power transmission products, fluid power solutions, and in-house fabrication services. This specialization complements Motion Industries’ existing capabilities and will enable the company to present a more comprehensive suite of solutions to its customers.

While the current proprietor of Thompson Industrial Supply will be transitioning out of the business following the acquisition, other family members will remain with the company and continue to assume a key role in its operations. This ensures a seamless transition and continuity of service for customers.

Motion Industries and Thompson Industrial Supply have conveyed enthusiasm about the partnership and the opportunities it affords for growth and expansion. The acquisition is projected to benefit both companies, as well as their customers and employees. Motion Industries will acquire valuable expertise and resources, while Thompson Industrial Supply will benefit from the support of a larger organization and access to a broader market.
