    Birmingham, Ala. – Motion Industries, Inc., a leading distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts, and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the operating assets of M.B. McKee Company, Inc. The transaction is expected to close at the end of January 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

     

    Established in 1943, M.B. McKee is a family-owned distributor of mechanical bearings,
    belts, chain, conveyor systems/components, motors, drives and power transmission
    components. End markets include industrial, commercial equipment, agriculture and
    textile. Employing approximately thirty team members, the company is headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, with two locations in Amarillo and Hereford. As M.B. McKee President and majority owner Cindy Cole works to transition the business, her husband Kirk Cole (Vice President, Sales) and brother Mark McKee (Vice President and partial owner) will continue their roles in the business post-close.

    Cindy Cole said, “This is a tremendous opportunity, and we look forward to bringing customers
    an expanded product and service offering while supporting Motion’s growth initiatives. We are
    very pleased to join forces with this global industrial leader.”

    “M.B. McKee is a well-established, high-quality business and a perfect strategic fit for us,” said
    James Howe, President of Motion. “The complementary product offering and customer-centric
    approach will supplement and extend our presence and scale in the region. We are thrilled to
    welcome the talented M.B. McKee team to Motion and look forward to their contributions in
    upcoming years.”
