Motion Industries, Inc., a leading global distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, announced plans to consolidate two of its facilities – a fluid-power shop and a hose-and-rubber shop – into a new, state-of-the-art 104,000-square-foot facility in Irondale, Ala. The project will create 15 new jobs, retain 13 jobs and represents a capital investment of $11.2 million.

The new facility in Irondale will combine two existing facilities in Irondale and Birmingham, thereby streamlining operations and increasing efficiency, productivity and sales. Motion Industries’ main engineering department, which currently works out of the corporate campus in Irondale, will move to the new facility as well.

The Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA) worked with the company on the expansion. Click here to read more.
