Regal Beloit Corporation is an international manufacturer of electrical and mechanical motor control components head quartered in Beloit, Wisconsin. Its stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ‘RBC’. RBC’s strength is in its market diversity as it serves an expansive array of markets from heavy industry to high technology.

The Regal Beloit business model is to have separate electrical and mechanical divisions to ensure their customers specific requirements are met by a sales team totally focused on that core group of products.

Telstar/RESCO trade show top

In support of our BSC distributor, Calstar Bearings/RESCO, CMG attended the Telstar/RESCO trade show held at the Grafton Racecourse in New South Wales on 26 November 2008.

The show was an opportunity to display and promote our products, in particular the Cycloid 600, SMR, CW, HLA, MT, Varvel Gears and VACON Drives. Representatives from a variety of industries - such as the timber mill industry, abattoirs, farm produce processors and industrial maintenance contractors - attended the show.

CMG seized the opportunity to not only promote our products to new and existing end users, but also follow up on any perspective clients by visiting their sites and providing quotations.

The Telstar/RESCO trade show was a welcoming success and we look forward to future events and exhibitions.

CMG saves the MCG! top

With the end of the Australian Football League season, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) have been dusting off their equipment in preparation for the cricket season to commence.

Amongst the numerous electrical equipment used during a cricket match are the MCG’s sight screens, which play an important role in today’s modern game. Sight screens are used to assist batsmen to see the ball more clearly. Unfortunately the drive cabinet on one of the sight screens was found to be full of water, reaching the level of the VFD. A call to CMG resulted in the VIC sales team visiting the MCG.

Assessing the situation, we downloaded the parameter set from the suspect drive and removed the drive for detailed inspection. Due to the impending Shield Match, a new drive was supplied and the parameter set downloaded to the drive, ready for installation.

By making the extra effort to pre-load the drive with parameters, we have again provided a solution, not just a product. I wonder if they might need someone to look after the drives during the Boxing Day Test??

CMG and RR Pacific forge alliance top

CMG is now the exclusive Australian distributor of the acclaimed Italian manufacturer Reggiana Ridutorri’s Planetary and Alliance Helical and Bevel Helical Industrial Gearboxes.

This world class giant has over 30 years manufacturing expertise and has emerged as a global market leader in the power transmission industry. With an ongoing investment strategy in product development and global manufacturing, combined with the strategic development of its international network of official distributors, CMG has full confidence in the company’s reputation and the quality of its products.

Whilst Reggiana Riduttori (RR) Pacific has established itself in Carrum Downs (Victoria, Australia) as the technical warehouse and service centre for its products, CMG will be responsible for RR Pacific’s sales, distribution and marketing. RR Pacific chose CMG as the distributor of choice, based on our thorough coverage of Australia and New Zealand’s industrial markets.

Where CMG has been restricted in its contract proposals with other manufacturers in the past, it now has the opportunity to expand its target market significantly as a result of the new product capabilities. With RR Pacific using the most advanced technology in its design and production, its experience and knowledge in the industry is evident. The RR Planetary inline, angular and wheel gearboxes cover up to 550,000 Nm, while the equally impressive Alliance Industrial parallel helical and helical bevel gearboxes cover up to 700,000 Nm.

With the constant technological advances in the industry and threats of a volatile market, CMG is heading forward - always pursuing opportunities and sound business initiative.
