BDI opens two branches

BDI (Bearing Distributors Inc.) announced the opening of new branches in Memphis, Tenn., and Winston-Salem, N.C.


Newly appointed branch manager Richard (Ricky) Swann has relocated from BDI-Decatur, Ala., to oversee the company's entry into the Memphis market. Swann will draw on nearly 30 years of industrial distribution experience to serve Mid-South customers.

"BDI-Memphis will support a number of existing customers in Western Tennessee and NE Arkansas and support our continued growth in the Mid-South," said John Ruth, BDI-USA president.

Jim Chrapek, a veteran of the Greater Triad Area bearing/power transmission industry, has joined BDI as branch manager of the company's Winston-Salem location. Other members of the new branch team are operations manager Lee Noble and customer service representative Lisa Taylor.

"BDI-Winston-Salem will support BDI's missions of delivering products and solutions to both existing and new customers in Winston-Salem and the Greater Triad Area and continued growth in the Southeastern U.S. market," said Ruth.
