NSK was named 2022 Supplier of the Year by automation distributor Motion Industries. The award recognizes companies that have shown exceptional commitment through quality products and services and earned the highest score in the multi-faceted Supplier Stratification rating system.

“NSK consistently seeks opportunities to increase their alignment with Motion’s strategies,” said Joe Limbaugh, Motion’s executive vice president and chief operations officer. “We appreciate NSK’s forward-thinking and their efforts to ensure Motion’s success in its growth plan.”

The presentation took place July 18, 2023, at NSK’s manufacturing facilities in Franklin, Tennessee.

“It’s an honor to accept this award on behalf of everyone at NSK, from the U.S. team members to our factories around the world who support our local activities,” added Tarek Bugaighis, senior vice president—industrial business unit, NSK Americas. “The collaboration between our companies to serve the industrial market has been tremendous, not only last year, but in the years prior, as well, culminating with this year’s Supplier of the Year award.”
