Family-owned Reliance eyes growth in industrial spares

A Cork-owned family business in existence for almost a century has showed how, from humble beginnings, it became an Irish industry leader in maintenance, repair and operations (MRO).

Reliance Bearing and Gear Company is the largest technical distributor of MRO spares for all industries in Ireland, with three branch locations and a combined warehousing space of 40,000 sq ft.

It exclusively represents many world-leading manufacturing brands, and the agriculture industry accounts for half its business.
