Motion announced Tuesday that it has acquired Southern California distributor Sunset Industrial Parts.
Sunset, located in the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos, provides power transmission parts and lubrication solutions, along with “make-to-order” parts, repair, inventory management, safety and delivery services.
Terms of the deal, which closed Nov. 1, were not disclosed.
Motion President James Howe said that the deal “aligns with Motion’s growth strategy while increasing value to local customers.”
“We look forward to welcoming the talented Sunset team and further increasing our market leadership in Southern California," Howe said in the announcement.
Sunset Chairman James Stratmann said that both Motion and Sunset “are customer-focused, quality-driven, and serve many of the same industries.”
“This integration will drive new and expanded opportunities,” Stratmann said.
Motion is the no. 2 distributor on ID’s 2025 Big 50.
