Motion Industries, Inc., a leading distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts, and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the net operating assets of Maguire Bearing Company, Ltd., an industrial distributor based in Hawaii. The transaction is expected to close at the end of February 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Maguire Bearing has served the Hawaii and surrounding Pacific Rim market since 1955,
when it was founded by William H. Maguire. His son, John “Jackie” Maguire, is the current owner and will lead the transition. The company is headquartered in Honolulu with three additional 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.
Mr. Maguire said, “Motion has been a reliable supplier to Maguire for many years, making
it an ideal fit for our employees and customers. 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.”
“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,” said James Howe, President of Motion. “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.”
