Motion Industries makes two acquisitions

Motion Industries, Birmingham, Ala., a wholly owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts Co. (GPC), has entered into agreements to acquire TRC Hydraulics, Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada, and F&L Industrial Solutions, Poway, Calif. Both transactions closed with an effective date of Aug. 1, 2020.

In business since 1986, TRC Hydraulics has served the Atlantic Canada region with several full-service sales and repair facilities in Canada. In 2019, TRC Hydraulics expanded by opening a facility near Spartanburg, S.C.

Along with distributing many lines of hydraulic product, TRC designs, manufactures, and maintains hydraulic components and systems. TRC also engineers customized hydraulic and mechanical solutions, and offers the additional services of experienced fabricators, welders, machinists and hydraulic technicians.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to grow our business with a leading company that shares the same core values as we do,” said Terry Coyle, TRC president and CEO. “We look forward to leveraging the many resources that Motion Industries offers and enhancing our services to provide greater value to our customers.”

F&L Industrial Solutions has served the southwest U.S. with full-service aluminum extrusion components since 2002. F&L offers local inventory including the 80/20 brand of aluminum, an experienced staff of CAD designers, in-house machining, digital panel cutting, full assembly/manufacturing, on-site delivery, and installation. Custom-designed products include a wide array of enclosures, clean rooms, walls, platforms, cabinets, racks, sneeze guards, tool holders, electrical connections, robotics and specialized carts.

“It’s a perfect fit of our analogous visions and business cultures. We look forward to the growth opportunities, and with us joining Motion Industries, our customers can anticipate even greater high-quality service they’ve come to know from our company,” said Mike Fanolla, F&L Industrial owner and co-founded F&L.

“We are pleased to welcome these outstanding organizations, TRC Hydraulics and F&L Industrial, to the Motion family,” said Randy Breaux, Motion Industries, president. “TRC gives us the opportunity to expand our hydraulics business in the Atlantic Canada markets. And with its aluminum extrusion niche, F&L will nicely supplement our Mi Automation Solutions Group. We look forward to working with the talented people of both companies to grow our market footprint and build on our industry-leading position, creating even more value for our customers in the coming years.”
