I began selling parts for the European automotive market in 1975 for an importer of German parts, mainly for Mercedes cars. I saw large cases of FAG bearings coming in and being sold. As the original equipment supplier Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen and more, FAG was the bearing of choice. I sold axle bearings, wheel bearings, generator and alternator bearings. You name it, if it rolls, I sold it. I had no problems, no come backs, and no defects. FAG is a world class product and I highly recommend it when a choice is offered.
My confidence in FAG bearings is only enhanced by their association as a member of the Schaeffler Group including INA, Luk and Ruville, a proud and strong group of OE suppliers to the European automotive new car manufacturing industry.
Company:
The FAG brand started with an ingenious idea. In 1883, Friedrich Fischer designed a ball grinding machine in Schweinfurt, Germany that, for the first time, made it possible to produce absolutely round steel balls by grinding. This invention is regarded as the foundation for the entire rolling bearing industry. This is one of the reasons why FAG has long been considered to be a pioneer in rolling bearing technology. Today, FAG is one of the leading brands for applications in machine building, the automotive industry and in aviation and aerospace technology. The Schaeffler Group's FAG brand has companies, subsidiaries and sales agencies in all major industrial countries.
Since 2001, FAG has been part of the Schaeffler Group and has been active in all of the group’s divisions – Aerospace, Automotive and Industrial. Together with INA’s complementary product range, FAG has one of the widest product portfolios in the rolling bearing industry, covering nearly all applications in production machinery, power transmission and rail technology, heavy industry and consumer products.
