SKA – the brand
Saurer ball bearings is more than just a name, it is a promise. For over eight decades, Hans Saurer Kugellager AG stands for Swiss quality, technical precision and active partnership. Our roller bearing solutions power machines around the world and are synonymous with reliability, efficiency and sustainability.
Family-owned. Globally networked.
Founded in Arbon in 1938, SKA® began manufacturing its own roller bearings in Switzerland. Today, we combine this tradition with an international manufacturing network and our subsidiary in Shanghai. Every delivery is tested according to international standards and is subject to strict SKA quality controls.
The SKA® brand – Saurer Kugellager Arbon – has been trademarked since 1985 and is an expression of our many years of experience.
