In the 1950s, few companies foresaw the path they must take to thrive in 21st century markets. A case in point is the change in the surgical equipment market. Robots are invading it. Maybe this was anticipated in science fiction but in the real world, who was inspired to anticipate such an evolution?
Motion control is essential for the digitization and automation of equipment striving to become high tech – and bearings are basic to frictionless movement. In 1956, just distributing bearings in California was viable, even on a small scale. With growing globalization through the end of the 20th century, for many small distributors it was change or die. This is where strong engineering skills came to the rescue of one such distributor.
