Leading manufacturer and supplier of bearings and sintered components, Bowman International, has unveiled its new UK manufacturing facility.
The facility has been specifically designed to offer a faster and more efficient end-to-end service on larger, non-standard sized wrapped bearings above 75mm in diameter.
Housed at Bowman’s headquarters in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the manufacturing centre contains an array of market-leading machines capable of working a variety of materials in line with the distributor’s vast product portfolio.
Paul Mitchell, managing director of Bowman International said: “The key driver behind our decision to manufacture on home soil is speed. Producing non-standard components here, instead of through one of our trusted international manufacturing partners, means we can fulfil special or urgent orders in days rather than weeks.
“We can create OEM prototypes too, supporting tight design and build schedules with a reliable service which will be unrivalled for accuracy, quality and speed.”
In addition to producing larger non-standard sized wrapped bearings, the site will also be equipped to make alterations to standard components, which will once again deliver time and cost efficiencies to the customer.
Paul concludes: “Consistent quality and fast service are a prerequisite when you order standard bearings and sintered components from Bowman. Now, with a manufacturing facility in the UK, we can offer the same speed of distribution on larger non-standard items and special orders too; something which is already proving to be of great benefit to many of our customers.”
