Continue to improve the layout of the whole value chain
Give full play to the driving effect of "leading"
The SKF High Precision Bearing Industrial Park covers an area of about 114 acres. It mainly produces deep groove ball bearings, high-speed deep groove ball bearings, ball bearing units with seats, textile bearings and other precision ball bearing products, which are widely used in new energy vehicles, machine tools , aerospace, agricultural machinery, textile, automobile and other industries. As SKF's world's largest ball bearing production base and R&D center, the first and second phases of the base have been put into production. The completion of the third phase of the project will further enhance the scale effect and better serve the Chinese and even the global market.

Zhejiang is China's core bearing industry base and one of the "strategic centers" for SKF's development in China. The PEER brand acquired by SKF in 2008 was established in Xinchang as early as 1995. Xinchang County, as the "Hometown of Bearings in China", has been vigorously introducing high-end enterprise projects in recent years, focusing on improving the high-tech content and high product added value of the local bearing industry. Since 2017, SKF has accelerated its layout in Xinchang, not only bringing high-precision bearing products and technologies, but also acting as the "chain leader" of the industry, exerting a driving effect, promoting the ecological construction of the local bearing industry, and driving the industry to high-tech content. , Transformation and upgrading of high value-added products.
Tang Yurong, President of SKF China and Northeast Asia, said: "Although market uncertainty remains, SKF's confidence in the Chinese market remains unchanged. In the future, SKF will continue to increase investment in China and conduct end-to-end Xinchang base is an important part of the localized layout of the whole value chain. At the same time, SKF will continue to focus on the two development directions of 'smart' and 'clean', and bring high-quality products to more customers with advanced technology and reliable products experience and contribute to China's high-quality development."

Implement "smart" and "clean"
Power up for a green future of manufacturing
The construction of SKF Xinchang base continues SKF's "smart" and "clean" China strategy. The preliminary projects that have been completed and put into production have not only introduced energy-saving measures such as green electricity and photovoltaics, but also equipped with a centralized water, gas and oil treatment and circulation system, and an SKF RecondOil oil regeneration system, striving to achieve a win-win situation in terms of economic and environmental benefits. The project started this time will also continue the green and low-carbon concept, and is expected to pass the ISO50001 energy management system and "green factory" certification in 2024.
The SKF Xinchang production base is also an important practice for SKF to build a factory of the future. The project will be equipped with advanced technologies such as AGV intelligent automatic logistics distribution, WMS warehouse management system, and digital factory management system to further implement intelligent manufacturing. Facing the future, SKF will continue to respond to the "14th Five-Year Plan" call for intelligent manufacturing to help China's manufacturing industry achieve intelligent and green transformation.
