December 21, 2007—

Fenner Drives has acquired B-LOC Corp., a North American supplier of keyless shaft/hub locking devices for mechanical power transmission and material handling applications. 

“Combining the well-established B-LOC brand with our existing Trantorque product line positions us as the market leader in the U.S. and Canada and provides a strong platform for sales growth in the Americas,” said Ian Smith, executive director of global sales and marketing at Fenner Drives.

B-LOC Corp., founded in 1982, has been dedicated to developing new markets for keyless bushing technology, while Fenner Drives is a designer and manufacturer of power transmission components with plants in England, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
