SKF Canada integrates Kaydon and Cooper bearing brands

Nov. 30, 2016 – SKF Canada — a supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics, lubrication systems, and services — will assume sales and technical support responsibility for Kaydon and Cooper bearing brands effective Jan. 2, 2017.

Kaydon and Cooper bearing operations were acquired by SKF Group in 2013, but until now, the sales in the Canadian market place has been managed by the master distributor Cooper-Grainger Canada Inc./Technical Bearing Sales Ltd.

According to the parties, the consolidation will benefit customers who can now turn to SKF for sales and technical support for an “even wider product range, supported by a larger geographical presence.”
