Birmingham, Ala. – Motion Industries, Inc., a leading distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts, and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of two new sales branches in Mexico.
Both locations, which officially opened in late 2025, offer quality industrial products and fast product fulfillment, plus field services and specialist support. The branches will also hold training opportunities for employees and customers.
Cuautlancingo, Puebla
Located in southeast Mexico, the Cuautlancingo branch’s street address is Calle Rio Papaloapan 19.
