March 03, 2012
Mississauga, Ontario: Wälzager Industriewerke
Bulle AG (WIB), a specialty manufacturer of miniature
precision ball bearings located in Bulle, Switzerland,
is pleased to recognize its 50th Anniversary of bearing
production.
Founded in 1961, WIB produces a full range of precision
ball bearings made according to international
specifications in metric and inch dimensions including
single and double-row radial ball bearings,
self-aligning ball bearings, cylindrical, spherical and
gothic-grooved track rollers, special drawing bearings
and precision rolls and sleeves.
With a broad industrial customer base of original
equipment manufacturers and distributors in over 30
countries around the world, WIB currently employs over
100 production, sales and administrative staff.
WIB manufactures products under its own brand, under the
“Swiss Made” mark, and for many major bearing
manufacturers around the world.
Commented Gregg Robinson, President of RotoPrecision
(Canada):
Since RotoPrecision’s acquisition in 2003, WIB has undergone a tremendous restructuring including very substantial investment in equipment, processes and capacity. We are looking forward to further developing WIB’s global presence as a premium supplier of specialty ball bearings.
Originally a private company, WIB was acquired by NSK in
1990 and subsequently by RotoPrecision (Canada) Inc. in
February 2003.
