Bijur, Farval and LubeSite become Bijur Delimon International

Merger creates a company with the widest lubrication system offering in the marketplace

[Morrisville, NC – May 1, 2008]  Bijur Delimon International, a global leader in centralized lubrication systems and components, today announced the legal merger of Bijur Lubricating Corporation, Farval Lubrication Systems and LubeSite Systems Inc. into one entity. The new company name will be Bijur Delimon International.

Bijur, Farval and LubeSite have each made significant strides in becoming dominant players in the centralized lubrication industry, and enjoy a long history of success. Bijur has provided products for light-industry since 1923 and Farval has been focused on heavy-industry since its inception in 1926. LubeSite opened its doors in 1974, but has developed a niche market in providing spring-powered lubricators for various industries.

The global headquarters for Bijur Delimon International will remain in Morrisville, NC, with its North America manufacturing and warehouse facility in Kinston, NC.

“This is the perfect time to merge the companies under the Bijur Delimon International name,” Roger Yamamoto, President & COO, said. “We see this as an opportunity to strengthen our position as an industry leader in centralized lubrication systems. As we operate as one company, we will be better equipped to respond to customer needs.”

The Customer Experience

Customers will see minor changes as the new company name is rolled out, such as new business forms and a new Web site. However, their corporate and regional contacts will remain the same, as will their authorized distributors.

“We see this as an opportunity to streamline our operations for our customers,” Jim Carse, North America Sales Manager, said. “From a support stand-point, this change makes us more efficient and responsive to customers. We pride ourselves in having industry-leading customer service and this further emphasizes our commitment.”

The Bijur Delimon Name

The Bijur Delimon International name has been used for more than 2 years as an unofficial “umbrella” company on some documentation and at trade shows. This official merger continues this strategy by making Bijur, Farval and LubeSite official brands of Bijur Delimon International.

“We wanted to preserve the strength of the brand names,” Scott Batchelor, North America Marketing Manager, said. “Our customers identify with these brands and have done so for many years. We will continue to promote the brands, especially in industries where they have become synonymous with quality and efficiency.”
