Machinery, cars, airplane engines, even household products - anywhere there are parts that rotate, our solutions can be found! As the world moves swiftly into an age of digitalization, so are we.

Innovation is more than just groundbreaking inventions. It's the small incremental changes that are constantly made to make your everyday life easier. Together with the industry and academia we work to drive the needed changes in society by creating reliable rotation and reducing friction. This co-innovation is needed to push the boundaries in creating tomorrow’s technologies. Reliability, predictability and sustainability are what guides us in this work.

Our extensive RTD operations encompass everything from coatings to steel to bearing endurance life. We also collaborate with academic institutions to get unique expertise and fresh perspectives on complicated issues.

At SKF, we have a long history of working with industrial sustainability. It is an integral part of what we do every day. And we strive to create engagement throughout the business, not only by implementing sustainability on a strategic level, but also by encouraging the ideas and grass root projects initiated by our people around the world.

But, to continue on the journey to enable rotation for a better tomorrow, even more needs to be done. We all need to move towards a clean, responsible, net-zero, fully circular society – something that must happen with a speed and on a scale not seen before. 

So, how does SKF fit in? Well, our largest contribution lies in providing clean technology solutions for the industrial transformation, and in developing more and more of our products to become lighter, more efficient, longer lasting, repairable, and, ultimately, recyclable. This in turn helps our customers reach their goals for sustainability and growth. But we strive to do more. By challenging ourselves, and by inviting others to collaborate, we can continue to find new ways to influence all aspects of the future sustainable business.

Of course, most people think of an engineering company when they hear about SKF. With a large number of application, design, mechanical and electrical engineers – engineering is truly at the heart of our business. However, as a global company we offer many opportunities for you to explore within other areas as well, such as sustainability, digitalization, business development and more.
