CLEVELAND, OH (July 27, 2010) - Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE: AIT) has announced the publication of its 2010 / 2011 Applied® Product Catalog with more than 3,000 new products. The full-line catalog, with 38,000 products overall, includes the industry's best selection of bearings, motors, drives, belts, fluid power products, tools, welding supplies, safety items and more.

New to this year's catalog is a full selection of popular janitorial supplies, such as cleaning chemicals, bags and liners, mops, brooms and brushes, odor control items, paper products and dispensers, skin care and personal hygiene products, storage items and more.

The catalog's die-cut tabbed sections make it quick and easy to find the product or part you need.
