WINONA, Minnesota (12 December 2003) – Miller Felpax Corporation announced today an exclusive agreement with CMBA Indústria Mechânica Ltda to distribute the Brazilian manufacturer’s traction motor support bearings in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The agreement gives Miller Felpax, a leading manufacturer of locomotive and railcar rolling stock parts, the capability to supply North American customers with high quality traction motor support bearings. Most bearings now in use in North America were designed and originally patented by Miller Felpax

CMBA, based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has produced high quality traction motor support bearings since 1958. In 1966, CMBA won a license from ABEX Corporation for its bearing technology. Since then, CMBA has grown into South America’s premier supplier of support bearings and has developed world-class manufacturing, research and quality control capabilities.

Steven Blue, President and CEO of Miller Felpax commented on the agreement, “This partnership benefits our customers since it will substantially reduce costs of their bearings purchases, and it will provide an alternative to current suppliers. Miller Felpax can also provide more complete combo kits, including traction motor support bearings, wick lubricators, seal rings, and gear case seals.”

“CMBA is a world-class company that has produced the same bearing as Magnus Farley for over 40 years. Their manufacturing processes, quality control, facilities and experience are second to none,” continued Blue.

Roberto Rocha, President and CEO of CMBA, said, “We are pleased with our partnership with a leader in the industry, Miller Felpax. Our traction motor support bearings are the leaders in South America, and we look forward to bringing the same high quality parts to the North American market.”

Miller Felpax has manufactured locomotive and railcar parts for over 50 years in 100 countries throughout the world, and holds more than 240 patents.
