Bearing Man Group has already invested in a substantial amount of Festo products, which they intend to distribute through their various outlets. Customers are now able to make purchase of their favourite Festo products at any one of the various Bearing Man Group outlets and enjoy the same quality and warranties that they would, if they were purchasing it directly from Festo.
