Industrial automation, gearing, and predictive maintenance for manufacturing reliability
B&D Industrial operates three focused divisions—MRO+Automation, Gearing+Reliability, and IIoT—serving mid-market manufacturers. The tech stack (SolidWorks, Creo, MATLAB, Simulink, KISSsoft) reflects deep mechanical and controls engineering; paired with proprietary IIoT platforms (VibePro, OptiPro), the company is positioning predictive maintenance and equipment reliability as core products rather than ancillary services. Hiring concentrates on engineering and manufacturing roles with mid-to-senior seniority, suggesting active product development and custom solution delivery rather than rapid scaling.
B&D Industrial, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Macon, GA, is a privately held manufacturer serving industrial sectors through three specialized divisions. MRO+Automation Solutions handles maintenance, repair, and operations alongside automation technology. Gearing+Reliability Solutions provides precision gears and reliability services. Industrial Internet of Things covers monitoring platforms (VibePro and OptiPro) for predictive maintenance and facility optimization. The 2024 acquisition of American Gear, based in Michigan, extended capabilities in precision gearing and American manufacturing. The company maintains a large inventory of industrial products, offers technical and after-sales support, provides custom engineering services, and sources hard-to-find reconditioned parts.
Engineering tools: SolidWorks, Creo, MATLAB, Simulink, KISSsoft (gearbox design). Hardware: FARO Arm (metrology). Office: Word, Excel, Arduino. Core platforms: VibePro and OptiPro for predictive maintenance and facility optimization.
Yes. Active roles total 13, with 6 in engineering and 4 in manufacturing, mostly mid and senior seniority. All hiring is in the United States.
