Following a successful two-year period of regional authorized distribution, gearmotor manufacturer Bison Gear and Engineering Corp. has entered into a North American distribution agreement with Kaman Industrial Technolgies, a distributor of power transmission and motion control products. Kaman will distribute Bison's full product offering of gearmotors through Kaman's 200 customer service centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

"In our 50th anniversary year, Bison is especially pleased to have entered into this expanded distribution partnership with Kaman," says Todd Lucich, vice president of sales for Bison Gear and Engineering. "Kaman's reputation as a solution provider for its customers aligns well with Bison's consultative approach to engaging end users from the design to installation phase of the product development lifecycle to ensure that the product we provide meets our promise of engineering excellence."

The addition of the Bison lines is designed to enhance Kaman's ability to serve the electrical needs of customers looking for solutions that require reduced dimensions in a powerful, compact package.

"Bison's technological leadership is recognized throughout the industry and aligns well with Kaman's goal of providing high technology product solutions to our customers," says David Mayer, vice president of marketing for Kaman Industrial Technologies. "With Bison's reputation for innovative engineering and Kaman's focus on application-based selling solutions, this partnership has the potential to provide unique solutions to the challenges faced by our customers."
