About SKF

AB SKF is a Swedish engineering group founded in 1907, based in Gothenburg and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, built around a single idea: reducing friction in rotating equipment. Its offer around the rotating shaft covers bearings, seals, lubrication systems and management, condition monitoring and related services, and it works across more than 20 industries. In this directory’s drivetrain and linear motion context, SKF is relevant for its bearing and linear motion technology — the components that let robot joints, axes and machinery move accurately under load — supported by engineering, maintenance, condition monitoring and remanufacturing services for full life-cycle management of rotating assets.

The group states representation in approximately 130 countries, around 17,000 distributor locations worldwide and 38,743 employees in 2024 boilerplate (its own about text also cites more than 40,000 employees). SKF is currently separating its automotive business for a separate listing, sharpening its industrial focus. Its positioning stresses making products lighter, more efficient, longer lasting and repairable so customers improve rotating equipment performance and cut environmental impact. For directory partners, SKF is the incumbent scale supplier for bearings and linear motion, with a service network few component makers can match.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
