Bison gearmotors feature in MSC Industrial Direct catalogue
MSC Industrial Direct is launching its 2008 motor catalogue with over twice as many products as in the previous edition. New to the 2008 catalogue is a comprehensive offering of gearmotors from Bison Gear.
John Mingst, MSC Product Manager, states: "The 2008 catalogue was developed totally based on our customers' input and feedback. We asked them what the ideal motor catalogue resource would contain and we designed this year's catalogue and product offering to deliver that." The 2008 catalogue now contains over 1200 motors.
Regarding MSC's expectations for the new motor catalogue, Erik Gershwind, MSC Senior VP of Product Management and Marketing, comments: "All of our programmes at MSC are customer-driven. I am excited about the new motor catalogue, as it delivers a superior motor resource to our customers. We are excited to get it into the marketplace and expect the motor segment of our business to continue to show strong growth as a result of meeting our customer needs with superior products, service and support."
