“We believe the catalog will fill a niche of sorts, because there aren’t many user-friendly pneumatics catalogs out there featuring content based on everyday need.”
“This interactive catalog is meant to be a go-to solution for anyone who works with pneumatics, especially in certain industries like food and packaging, automotive, or iron and steel,” said Randy Breaux, Motion Industries’ Senior Vice President of Marketing, Distribution, and Purchasing. The pages look like static line cards, but you can click the actual part number to see it on Motion’s website (Note: we had to refresh the page one time for the links to appear on our Mac). There are some neat features, like being able to bookmark or share certain areas of interest. It’s set up to look like a traditional catalog, and you can flip pages like in the real thing. We tried out the catalog, and found it relatively easy to use. That way, the company says, customers can easily and quickly select what they need. With the needs of its customer base in mind, Motion created the catalog by starting with its broad pneumatic product offering and narrowing it down to more than 1,800 commonly ordered items organized into 13 subcategories.
