SKF has been around for more than a century and we are one of the world’s largest suppliers of bearing and related services and solutions for rotating equipment. Our products are found everywhere in society. In fact, wherever there is movement in vehicles, SKF’s solutions may be used. This means that we are an important part of the everyday lives of people and companies around the world. 


Recently, we in Automotive have demonstrated the significant value that focus, and dedication can bring to SKF and its shareholders. Separating the automotive business will allow for a more precise concentration on unique opportunities to upgrade customer satisfaction, speed up development, and boost performance and market presence. A more tailored, leaner Automotive business model will further strengthen its competitive advantage and capture additional profitable growth opportunities, while at the same time accelerating its profitability transformation. In consequence, we are now addressing key enablers for improved profitability and customer experience by digitizing supply chains, sales processes, and project management.


As an independent company, the automotive industry faces increasing competition, complexity, and regulation. A robust, efficient, and standardized IT environment can be a strategic advantage by improving transparency, agility, customer satisfaction and loyalty. It enables faster and smarter decision-making, better quality control, and reduced costs and risks. 


Creating value for customers and society has always been at the core of what we do. Would you like to join us in shaping the future of motion?
