Skills and competencies (Bearings)
Our USP:
We offer an extremely high level of in-house manufacturing, from material development, to prototyping and reshaping, through to finishing components using different coating technologies. Using modern CAE tools and validation tests, we will be by your side from the beginning of your component development process. We apply our knowledge and skills not only to plain bearings, but also to new products from other market segments.
