INA

In 1952, an INA needle roller bearing replaced the previously used plain bearings in the transmission of the VW Beetle. Today, almost every modern passenger car contains INA engine and transmission components.

Variable cam timers and hydraulic bucket tappets ensure improved performance, reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and increased driving comfort in modern car engines. INA rolling bearings, engine components, and linear technology are characterized by a high level of quality and reliability.

FAG

High-precision bearings for aerospace applications, sensor wheel bearings for passenger cars, or large-size bearings with outside diameters of over four meters for wind turbines, FAG products are the number one choice for all customers.

LUK

The company is working intensively on solutions for the automobile world of tomorrow, for example with the double-clutch transmission and components for continuously variable transmissions – for greater safety, comfort, and fewer emissions.
