Thordon Bearings Inc., a global leader in water-lubricated and grease-free bearings, has appointed Progreen as its exclusive distributor in Azerbaijan.
The move strengthens Thordon’s presence in the Caspian region. It aims to bring high-performance bearing and seal solutions to the marine, hydro power, and industrial sectors.
Progreen, led by brothers Ravil and Akhad Saidov, has expertise in polymer coatings, pump services, wastewater treatment, and technical repairs across heavy industries. The company previously acted as a sub-distributor.
“Progreen combines technical knowledge with proactive customer support,” said Malcolm Barratt, Thordon Regional Manager for Southern Europe and Gulf Mediterranean. “Their connections with major operators, like ASCO, and strong field capabilities make them an ideal partner to help eliminate oil and grease pollution in marine and industrial operations.”
Progreen is already engaging with Azerbaijan’s inland and blue water shipping markets, as well as hydroelectric and industrial pump sectors.
“We are proud to represent Thordon Bearings in Azerbaijan,” said Ravil Saidov, Progreen Director. “There is strong demand here for durable, high-performance solutions that protect both assets and the environment. We look forward to helping our customers improve reliability and cut maintenance costs.”
