Automotive Bearings Manufacturer

Recently, foreign auto bearing enterprises to speed up the pace of China’s market. Some transnational companies in China to establish joint ventures, wholly-owned company, expanding production scale, and accelerate the implementation of personnel and purchasing locally, in order to occupy the Chinese bearing market, the high ground.

Although the bid before the Luoyang Bearing failure, the world’s second-largest wheel bearings manufacturer Schaeffler Group’s investment in the Chinese market unabated. May 16, Schaeffler Group, the total investment of 1.8 billion new plant in Taicang start. To meet market demand, the Group additional investment of about 200 million euros, an area of 110,000 square meters built a new factory.

The world’s largest ball bearing manufacturer SKF Group of Sweden, on May 23 in Shanghai “SKF China Technology Day.” SKF Group’s global CEO, Tom Johnston and SKF (China) Investment Co., Ltd. General Manager Mage Sen went to the site, showing its energy efficiency products and solutions. Group president and CEO, said Tom Johnston, SKF new plant in Shanghai’s Jiading plant is now completed, the third generation hub bearing production channels have been installed.

Japan’s Seiko Corporation of production bearings (NSK), 1995 was established in Kunshan NSK Co., Ltd. Rainbow Mountain. Dozen years, NSK investment in Kunshan has more than 160 million U.S. dollars.

It is understood that, so far, the world’s eight major cross-bearing companies have joint ventures or wholly owned plants in China. Multinational companies in China has gradually set up more than 30 bearings manufacturer, with a total investment of about 500 million U.S. dollars, has taken shape in one billion sets of bearing capacity.

Bearing from foreign companies see the current initiatives, strategic deployment in the China market has entered a new phase. In order to meet the needs of the Chinese market, and some cross-bearing company also set up R & D centers in China, while creating a large network of offices and improve sales, the industry chain of China into the cross-bearing.

Founded in 1907, SKF Group has a hundred years history, as Germany’s Volkswagen in China business development, SKF1996 years China has also established a clutch release bearing manufacturing plant. Although not established in China, SKF R & D center, but SKF president and CEO Tom Johnston stressed that growth in China’s automotive business is not only the growth of production, including technical updates.

Tom Johnston said, SKF positioning itself as a knowledge-based companies, auto companies will be with the technical requirements and continuously improve the level of bearing products to provide leading-edge products and design solutions. Introduced the first generation of products from the beginning to be put into a car bearing manufacturer, SKF bearings in a car manufacturing plant in China is to introduce group synchronization.

China is the world’s fourth largest bearing market, bearing also the main producer. Into China is stepping up cross-bearing manufacturer in China to seize the bearings in the high-end markets, such as high-class cars need wheel bearing most of the foreign joint ventures or wholly owned enterprises.

In this regard, the bearing industry in China, “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” should be made to focus on supporting the development of the host all kinds of thrust bearings used in high-end cars, focusing on research and development of new technologies such as new cars bearing bearings.

According to the China Association of data bearing, auto bearing manufacturer about the country from 4000 to 5000, has reached a certain size (sales of 5 million yuan or more) has 1750. As the demands on the car bearing relatively high, from now on view, the country will give the bearings supporting the automotive bearings industry more than 30 companies only. Play a role on the industry Web site, industry information to inform the work of

En bearings Association, said: “The current ball bearing industry has formed ZWZ, Los axis, Kazakhstan shaft, universal money tide, Xiang-axis, Hailin Bearing Factory, etc., represented by a number of leading suppliers, the overall development faster. But compared with the world bearing power, China’s bearing industry still lags behind, its mainly for the high resolution and high technological content and low value-added product mix. “It is understood that domestic brands bearing business in China car bearing a higher market share, of which 1 / 3 of our products are highly sophisticated products.

Chen Guozhen, said: “Local companies such as ZWZ bearings, Los axis, such as in Kazakhstan axis high proportion of high-end products, product quality, reliable, and generally low-end enterprise products are mainly used in the automotive market.” Shun Wang Lu said that in the truck bearing support, the main wheel bearings use of local products of domestic trucks. In passenger cars bearing the supporting, the small displacement, low-grade cars majority use local products, but the main use of high-end foreign brand cars.

Chinese consumers for high demand vehicles attracting more and more global car manufacturers new models into the domestic market, the domestic parts industry, car industry’s product and R & D Yaoqiu increased Dao the Xiangdang the Gaoduo. This led directly to the field of auto parts is a huge market with advanced technologies and products of transnational companies occupy bearing. At the same time, the world bearing the key auto parts manufacturer with high-precision auto bearings (mainly used for engine, transmission, wheel hub) production technology, the actively building production system in China, it is also wholly-owned subsidiary through independent, restructuring merger business in China to achieve their own decisions, etc., a monopoly on high-end market. The world’s leading multinational companies such as SKF bearings, Schaeffler, Timken, NSK, the Czech Republic have been too Gert such joint ventures or wholly owned plants in China, domestic competition, international competition became the main characteristics of bearings.
Meanwhile, demand in foreign markets, driven by the domestic parts industry networks by enterprises large exports of automotive bearing products platform. According to well-known auto parts e-commerce platform – K-car network statistics, in January 2010 -6 months, net exports by K-Swiss automobile bearings frequency reached 295, and showed significant increase.
