The Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) awarded Brian Short the 33rd Warren Pike Award for lifetime achievement in the power transmission and motion control industry.

Short received the award at the PTDA 2024 Industry Summit on Oct. 25 in Colorado Springs, CO.

The Warren Pike Award, established in 1984, recognizes individuals who have shown exceptional, ongoing support for PTDA and the PT/MC industry. Recipients are chosen by the PTDA Board of Directors.

Short started his career at Bruening Bearing, progressing through various roles before retiring from Pfannenberg U.S. He contributed to several PTDA committees and served as PTDA Foundation President in 2018 and 2019.

“We developed many tools to help distributors be more efficient and effective, and the strong relationships I built helped me throughout the balance of my career,” Short said in his acceptance remarks. “You could say that PTDA helped me broaden my horizons and be lucky enough to actively participate in elevating excellence.”
