New product launches for Bearings International
1st Quarter 2019
News & events
Bearings International (BI) has a few product launches planned for Q1 2019 aimed at ensuring sustainability and even stronger growth. Despite challenging market conditions, BI continues to focus on its unique value proposition of offering the best international brands at cost-competitive prices. What continues to distinguish the company in a market where smaller players are driving prices down is its expertise and service levels. This ensures that customers receive value for money and the lowest total cost of ownership.
A particular success for BI last year was the development of its Agri-Smart solution aimed at cooperatives in the agricultural industry. Agri-Smart allows BI to be an enabler for cooperatives in remote regions, and thereby support farmers with the best products at a fast turnaround, while maintaining excellent price levels. The success of Agri-Smart has showcased BI’s flexibility in adapting to both current market conditions and the specific requirements of its customers.
“We managed to maintain our market position in 2018 due to successful cross-pollination of various product offers,” says sales and marketing director, Conrad Muller. “Careful market analysis and a focused approach will also see BI grow in southern Africa in 2019.” Despite the fact that BI is a powerhouse of international brands, Muller stresses that it is not just another supplier. “Our technical expertise, vast coverage network, stock and client-facing specialists differentiate us from the competition. We evolve around market conditions, new technologies, an improved service offering, and shorter lead times, and can adapt to every unique situation,” Muller concludes.
