Extended component lifespan, enhanced reliability from premium SKF brand

With the escalation of inferior product fitment to equipment, one of the fastest growing project houses in South Africa chose SKF South Africa as the preferred supplier of their first power transmission product.

“As the customer was reluctant to have products in the plant that were not of prime quality, SKF was the perfect choice due to our stellar reputation and our previous association with the company,” states Frans Odendaal, Product Manager: Power Transmission at SKF. “So when we offered the customer a power transmission product at a competitive price and guaranteed on-time delivery, the customer was satisfied that SKF, as a premium brand, was ideal for this application.”

This collaboration with SKF perfectly aligned with the project house’s business plan of associating themselves with recognised high quality brands that deliver extended component lifespans, enhanced reliability and diminished downtime.

“The project house is a longstanding SKF customer from a bearing and lubrication perspective and we are extremely pleased to be able to offer another stellar product in SKF’s portfolio namely power transmission, to our customer,” concludes Odendaal.

As a global bearing and rotation specialist, SKF, holds over 100 years of industry experience in bringing customers innovative and superior-quality solutions.
