Baldor Australia signs on new national partners for Dodge mounted bearings

Baldor Australia has signed on two new national distributors to sell its range of Dodge ball and roller bearing products. Distribution through Statewide Bearings, which has 16 branches in WA, Qld, Vic and Indonesia, and AWB Bearings, which has nine branches in WA, SA and NSW, gives Baldor Australia national coverage via two experienced bearing sales networks. Both Statewide and AWB are heavily involved in the mining industry and have been selling Dodge bearing products for many years.

Daniel Vera, Baldor Australia General Manager, explained the changes: “The primary difference is that both companies are now ‘major national partners’. This means they will be carrying large stocks at all their branches and staff have completed extensive training in the new range of patented Dodge products.”

Geoff Ross,  Dodge national product manager, said, “In the past, Dodge bearings have been successfully targeted as ‘problem solvers for difficult applications only’. Now, with increased stock and availability, they will be available as a mainstream option, not just for difficult environments or where bearings are difficult to change out but anywhere standard SN/SD bearing units are used.”
