In 1989, Pioneer Motor Bearing was appointed the exclusive bearing repair licensee of the Power Generation Business
Unit of the then Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The appointment was customer-driven. Westinghouse acknowledged
that its customers should have direct access to a Westinghouse qualified and authorized, rapid response bearing
repair service.
For Westinghouse, Pioneer was the logical choice: a stable, award winning Westinghouse supplier of new bearings to
the Marine Division since 1956 and to the Power Generation Business Unit since 1974, with an active repair service
dating back to 1920.
Westinghouse announced the Bearing Repair License in a press release in
June, 1989.
We already had decades of experience repairing bearings designed by Westinghouse. But as a licensee of
Westinghouse, now SIEMENS, we could offer Westinghouse customers something not
seen before in the bearing repair market. We offered an OEM qualified and authorized
repair service from an experienced, independent company. A company
with a long tradition of providing end users with a rapid response to their bearing repair requirements.
It's been no surprise that our team approach with such a leading technology global organization has provided SIEMENS customers for a decade with the finest, rapid response bearing repair service available in North America.
In response to high customer satisfaction, in 1994 the license was expanded and renewed on an "evergreen"
basis.
| Major Points of the SIEMENS License:
Pioneer
sells direct to end users (and SIEMENS)
Pioneer has the exclusive right
to use SIEMENS bearing and seal drawings and "other technology" in the
performance of "services"
"Services" means the
repair of babbitted products which are: (1) designed by SIEMENS for steam or
combustion turbine generator units; and (2) which Pioneer is qualified in writing by SIEMENS to perform.
Now the license encompasses bearings from
any machine, regardless of its MW rating.
Pioneer now can perform in the United
States licensed repair services on any
SIEMENS bearing from anywhere in the world. Under the license, we’ve repaired or
remanufactured bearings from Europe, South America, and Asia. |
