Swedish skf's Chinese business accounts for 4%~5% of SKF's global business

Sweden's skf bearing company currently has 4% to 5% of SKF's global business in China. As a barometer of manufacturing, SKF has been leading the development of other manufacturing companies.

Swedish skf bearing company is the parent company of Volvo VOLVO. This old company founded nearly a hundred years ago has not only grown old, but has developed into the world’s largest manufacturer of multinational bearings step by step. Its output accounts for the total output of similar products in the world. 20%, up to more than 100 manufacturers under their own company!

In 1914, the Swedish Bearing Company found that the development prospects of automotive bearings were broad and a subsidiary was established. This is the predecessor of Volvo.

Johnstone said that the Swedish Bearing Company has always been able to maintain its leading position in the industry, "First of all thanks to the company's sense of excellence and quality first."

In 1924 Larsson and Gabrielsen met at a crayfish feast at Stockholm Hotel. Gbilielsen suggested to him to develop a car together. At this time, 15,000 cars sold in the Swedish market each year, 95% are imported from the United States. In 1925 Gabillierson took out part of his own money of 150,000 kronor to make prototypes. On the eve of the Second World War, Volvo is Sweden's best-selling car.

Why do you think of manufacturing a bearing? Johnstone said that this is related to company founder Sven Wingquist. In 1905, Winquist was a young engineer at the Gothenburg spinning mill. He was smart and hardworking, but one thing in the factory made him feel bad. The bearings that bear the overhead transmission lines are of poor quality and often do not turn around during operation. Large textile workshops have to stop production and wait for machinists to repair.

Winquist had been thinking about this for two years and tried various design solutions. Finally, in 1907, he successfully designed a deep-groove self-aligning ball bearing and built a Swedish bearing plant on this basis.

For example, he said that in a turbine produced in 1913, the Swedish ball bearings had been continuously turning 4 billion revolutions, which lasted more than 500,000 hours, and its rolling distance was equivalent to two trips from Earth to the moon. The turbine was later replaced, but the bearings in the machine were used.

Volvo is a famous car produced in Sweden. It was created by two people. One of them was called Assar Gabrielsson. He was born in 1891 and worked in SKF (Svenska Kullager-Fabriken) bearing company in Gothenburg in 1916. In 1920, he became the manager of the company's French branch and returned to Sweden in 1923 as the group sales manager.

Another man named Gustav Larson, who was born in 1887, studied engineering and was particularly interested in cars. He worked in White & Pope, Coventry, England, 1911, 1913. He returned to Sweden in the year and worked in SKF Bearing in 1917. In 1920 he worked as a technical manager at AB Galco in Stockholm.

The founder, Winquist, had exhausted the quality of the low-quality bearings and was therefore very strict with the quality requirements. "As long as it is our company's products, there is only one quality standard and no second standard is allowed."

After the end of the Second World War, Volvo cars have gradually become famous all over the world! At the same time: skf bearings also eventually spread out with the Volvo car!
