Gothenburg, 21 May 2015: SKF has signed a three-year agreement
with PT. Kereta
Api Indonesia (Indonesian Railways), Indonesia’s state-owned
railway operator,
for the supply of tapered roller bearing units. The units
will be produced in
SKF’s factory in Nankou, China, with deliveries expected to
start during the
third quarter of 2015.

SKF will also supply Indonesian
Railways with aftermarket sealing solutions and
dismounting tools.

Anders
Fogelberg, Managing Director, Indonesia, says, “This is a prestigious
and
significant contract for us to secure in a country with major
on-going
investments in railway infrastructure. SKF’s tapered roller bearing
units and
sealing solutions contribute to more reliable train operation,
increased
passenger comfort and, ultimately, reduced environmental impact,
through reduced
friction. Producing the units in China provides us with a
competitive edge that
meets the high standards and technical requirements of
the railway industry.”
