Bearing specialist, Bowman International, has announced the acquisition of Midlands-based John Handley Bearings Ltd.

Committed to growing the John Handley name under the umbrella of its own brand, Bowman will work closely with the highly-experienced John Handley team to improve stock availability for its three key technical partners; Thomson Industries, Cooper Bearings and NSK Linear.

With 50-years of industry heritage, John Handley Bearings will benefit from a period of brand modernisation as it becomes ‘John Handley Bearings, a division of Bowman International Ltd’.  

Moving forwards, Bowman envisages larger premises for its new division to accommodate improvements in logistical capacity and supply chain management; meaning quicker, more reactive product supply throughout much of the UK.
