Zumbrota Bearing and Gear, Inc. (ZBAG) and Cascade Component Parts, Inc. (CCP) are excited to announce the merger of the two companies effective August 1, 2015. The companies are joining forces in an effort to better service the traditional transmission, general repair and drivetrain industries.
ZBAG operates out of Zumbrota, MN, and has been in business since 1988. They have 80,000 sqft of warehouse space and 42 employees. Their continued focus on quality, knowledge, and service has made them one of the premier remanufacturers of drivetrain related assemblies. Their main product lines are manual transmission, transaxle, transfer case, and differential assemblies for passenger vehicle and medium/heavy truck applications.
CCP operates out of Portland, Oregon, and has been in business since February 2012. The employees in Portland have an average of over 23 years of experience in the industry. CCP’s business model is simple, “Say what you’re going to do, and then do it”. Which is reflected in the fact that CCP has quickly become one of the leading suppliers of aftermarket and OEM component parts to the drivetrain rebuilder and reseller market. Their product offering includes a full line of bearing and gasket/seal kits, gears, synchronizer rings, bearings, seals, chains, and cases.
The goal going forward is to continue delivering high quality finished assembly and component products to the rebuilder and reseller markets. They will achieve this goal through improved distribution and the availability of new products. The plan is to expand their current product offering by focusing on newer model and currently unavailable vehicle applications. Examples of this forward push are the development of T56, G56, and NSG component parts.
This merger will allow ZBAG and CCP to bridge the gap between production rebuilding and component parts distribution by simplifying the customer-supplier process. This will allow both companies to continue delivering top quality remanufactured drivetrain assemblies and component parts while at the same time remaining competitive in today’s evolving market. All without losing site of what is most important. The customer.
