Eaton expands aftermarket product portfolio with mobile power hydraulics agreement
Power management company Eaton announced its Vehicle Group’s Aftermarket division has reached a distribution agreement with Bezares SA to become the North American master distributor for its mobile power hydraulic portfolio.
Bezares SA is a global manufacturer of Power Takeoffs (PTOs), hydraulic pumps, fittings, tanks, valves and other related mobile power hydraulic components.
In addition to distribution services, Eaton will also provide post-sale service and support through its Roadranger field team.
“Eaton’s market reputation, customer reach and Roadranger support network make them an ideal partner for Bezares as we look to quickly increase our presence in the North American marketplace,” said Francisco Pulido, general manager of Bezares USA. “Our extensive mobile power portfolio is a natural complement to Eaton’s existing truck products and services.”
Eaton’s decades of experience and leadership in commercial vehicle transmissions will allow its Aftermarket team to leverage its partnership with Bezares to offer comprehensive mobile hydraulic solutions that meet customer needs for PTOs and other hydraulic products. Since PTOs are powered by the transmission, customers will be able to draw on Eaton’s knowledge in this area to develop complete customized systems for vocational and specialty applications, the company says.
“Our customer relationships provide us with the opportunity to offer the Bezares portfolio to a wide and diverse market,” said Tim Bauer, vice president, Aftermarket, North America, Eaton Vehicle Group. “Our expertise in managing power, combined with our Roadranger sales and service team, allows Eaton to delight our customers with a full product portfolio and help solve their problems.”
Eaton and Bezares will work together to ensure a smooth transition of customers to allow for continued sales and service of the Bezares portfolio, Eaton says. To ensure product availability for North American customers, Eaton is stocking inventory at the Eaton Logistics Center.
