BMG and NSK have consolidated a long-standing partnership, with the recent signing of a new distribution agreement that enhances the original contract and augers well for the companies, stakeholders and customers. BMG was appointed in 1991 by NSK, Japan, as exclusive distributor in South Africa for its extensive range of bearings. Through the restructured agreement, all sales will now be channelled through NSK’s South African operation.
“BMG’s NSK range, one of our leading bearings brands, extends from precision miniature bearings used in machine tools and electronics applications, to giant-size bearings used in the steel and mining industries,” says Keith van Wyk, BMG’s distribution director. “NSK has been at the forefront of bearing design and development for many decades and BMG is proud to represent this prestigious brand. Through the strengthened agreement, BMG and NSK South Africa are consolidating services and working strategically together on increasing awareness of the NSK brand and identifying opportunities for growth in key market sectors within Africa and also abroad.”

BMG will increase availability of stock out of NSK’s European distribution centre in Tilburg, Netherlands, and values engineering and marketing support from the NSK team in the UK and Germany. Both companies have made a substantial investment in increased warehousing facilities for greater stock availability and improved lead times. Training facilities for staff and end user customers have also been upgraded.
BMG’s R400 million investment to upgrade the existing Droste Park facilities into a leading edge distribution centre – BMG World – centralises functional and support operations onto one site. This enables it to continue to provide high levels of operating efficiencies and delivery service, in line with the continued growth of the business.
BMG’s bearing division, the cornerstone of the business, has restructured its management: Werner de Bruyn is business unit manager and Rouff Essop is operations manager. The company is committed to providing 24-hour customer support for production efficiency and reliability centred maintenance through more than 148 BMG branches and a wide distribution network, locally as well as into Africa, enhanced by advanced technical and design support across all functional disciplines.
