SKF – Our brain power in action

Knowledge and engineering
Anyone can put these two words together. But few companies have the background, the experience and the technical expertise to combine them in a way that delivers significant benefits to their customers and the environment.
SKF has.

SKF’s knowledge and creativity can be instrumental in the process of developing products that are friendlier to the environment, for example by using less energy. By putting our unique expertise to user, we can help our customers reduce consumption of precious resources, while limiting undesirable emissions. Hence minimising impact on nature

SKF specialist teams who are competent in areas ranging from bearings and units to seals, mechatronics, asset management services, lubrication, work closely together to provide advanced integrated solutions. These teams can accelerate time-to-market and offer unsurpassed single source responsibility for delivery and performance. SKF’s innovative products, solutions, services and training capability can often translate immediately into application solutions that were never previously possible

At SKF we are committed to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible growth. We develop products and solutions that contribute to better use of energy and place less strain on the environment.

BeyondZero
While SKF has long been in the industry leader in environmental issues, we have recently formalised our sustainability efforts under and initiative called BeyondZero. This is a commitment to reduce negative environmental impacts and increase positive impacts in everything we do, so that balance is increasingly positive. To accomplish this, we must reduce energy consumption and emissions from manufacturing operations and aim to improve the environmental performance to our customers’s process and products. By employing the best technologies we can create more efficient products that will actually save more energy over their operating lives than it took to manufacture them. This is our contribution to a shrinking planet and best testament we can offer to the power of knowledge engineering.
