From one simple but
inspired solution to
a misalignment
problem in a textile
mill in Sweden, and
fifteen employees in
1907, SKF has

tise in bearings, extending it to seals, mecha-
tronics, services and lubrication systems.

Working for a sustainable future
Since 2005, SKF has worked to reduce the
negative environmental impact from our
operations and those of our suppliers. Our
continuing technology development resulted
in the introduction of the SKF BeyondZero
portfolio of products and services which im-
prove efficiency and reduce energy losses,
as well as enable new technol ogies har-
nessing wind, solar and ocean power. This
combined approach helps reduce the en vir-
on mental impact both in our oper ations and
our customers’ oper ations.
