SKF, a renowned global manufacturer of bearings and other industrial components, has a rich and influential history that began back in 1907. Founded in Sweden, SKF (Svenska Kullagerfabriken) was established by engineer Sven Wingquist, who invented the self-aligning ball bearing. This invention was crucial in industrial development, solving the problem of improper shaft alignment, which was a significant issue for manufacturers of that time.

Over time, SKF significantly expanded its product range and geographical presence. By opening new manufacturing facilities and offices in various countries, the company became globally recognized. SKF not only strengthened its positions in the automotive industry but also actively expanded its presence in sectors such as aerospace, through the acquisition of companies specializing in the production of bearings for aircraft.

Today, SKF is one of the world's largest bearing manufacturers. The company is involved in the development, design, and production not only of bearings but also seals, lubrication systems, and other vital industrial components. Many new designs and technologies in this field have often been developed by SKF engineers.

As of today, SKF has a substantial global presence, with about 100 manufacturing locations in 70 countries around the world. The company engages in both manufacturing and scientific research, striving for innovation and improvement of its products. Approximately 44,000 SKF employees work worldwide, ensuring high quality and reliability of the products.
