SKF and Ovako reach milestone in journey towards net zero bearing production
Gothenburg, 8 September 2022: A significant milestone has been reached in SKF’s journey towards a net-zero value chain. Together with Swedish steel producer Ovako, SKF has produced a Spherical Roller Bearing (SRB) with 90% less emissions than its standard SRB bearing.
The bearing is manufactured in SKF’s net zero factory in Gothenburg and uses recycled steel from Ovako’s Hofors mill.
As an illustration of the companies’ collaboration, the bearing has already been installed in a crane at the Hofors mill, where it is one of hundreds of connected bearings that enable smoother operations
