Bearings importer set for expansionKingswinford-based Midland Bearings Ltd — a distributor of agricultural bearings, plummer blocks and clutch bearings — is expanding, with the acquisition of a new warehouse (www.midlandbearings.com).

The company has been supplying a wide range of roller bearings for more than 35 years; the new warehouse brings its total storage space to 75,000ft2 and enables itto stock more than 15 million products sourced from Western Europe and Asia.

Managing director Phil Chesworth said: “The uncertain state of the economy has meant that many businesses have struggled with their warehouse capacities, and the space issue is something that we have definitely experienced in the last 12 months.

"We have been preparing to expand for quite some time, and after a particularly strong year, we had the opportunity to significantly increase our warehouse space.

"We are making greater product selection, speedy delivery, and quick and easy on-line ordering a reality, and we have more than 15,000 items in stock.”

This expansion makes Midland Bearings one of the largest stockists of budget and ‘neutral’ bearings in the UK.

Alongside unmarked bearings, the company is an authorised distributor for the FK, KSM and MBA brands.

It also holds large stocksof SKF, INA and RHP bearings.
