Michael Pelehach, President of Shuster Corporation, offered some insight into the company’s longevity. “Not many companies can celebrate havingbeen in business for 100 years,” he said.”When you analyze what it is that has kept us viable over the years, it isn’t the products we sell or the processes we follow –it’s about the people that we hire. We have been blessed to have a long history of exceptional people working for Shuster Corporation. Our people care, and that is a pretty strong foundation to build a business on.”

“We certainly congratulate all at Shuster Corporation for reaching this truly remarkable milestone,” said Tim Breen, MotionIndustries’President and CEO. “The Shusterteam’s unwavering commitment to service excellencehasdefinitely contributed to the company’sgrowth throughout the years. We’re proud that Shuster is part of the Motion family, andlook forward to another,even more successful 100 years.”

Shuster Corporation began incoastal New Bedford, when in 1916 Simon Shuster started as a scrap dealer. Over time, Shuster started supplying industrial products to the local fishing fleets and industrial customers. That business model evolved during the 1970s,whennew generations of Shusters took the helm. Whenthere were bearing shortages, Shuster Corporation saw the opportunity to grow by supplying hard-to-find bearings.

Shuster achieved this by purchasing surplus items from a network of friends in the industry, and ultimately,sourcing select items from China and other countries to help fill the demand. The companywas purchased by Motion Industries in 2007 and has become a vital part of Motion’s development of OEM business. Shuster also works withMotion branchesas a resourcefor hard-to-find bearings–from the smallest miniature bearing to enormous slewing rings–as well as standard bearings and other power transmission products.
