Motion Industries, a distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts, named NSK its Supplier of the Year for 2022.

The award annually recognizes companies that exhibit exceptional commitment to Motion through quality products and services.

“NSK consistently seeks opportunities to increase their alignment with Motion’s strategies,” says Joe Limbaugh, executive vice president and COO at Motion, which also provides industrial technology solutions. “We appreciate NSK’s forward-thinking and their efforts to ensure Motion’s success in its growth plan.”

Tarek Bugaighis, senior vice president of NSK Americas’ industrial business unit, says collaboration between the companies to serve the industrial market has been tremendous for several years.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Motion, and I look forward to all we can accomplish together in the years ahead,” says Bugaighis, whose company received the award during a presentation this summer at NSK’s manufacturing facilities in Franklin, Tennessee.

Motion determined NSK was the award winner behind a rating system that evaluates supplier performance in multiple supply chain, marketing and field support categories.
