Multiple perspectives parsing sliding bearing

About the market situation, product advantages of sliding bearing and more information, Germany KlausHofmann GGB company general manager, marketing manager and sales manager MathiasSenghaas Asia made a detail. In 1887, a man named O. J。 Garlock man put his first industrial sealing system registered patent, FindlayMotorMetals company is established in 1899, and later set up GlacierAntifrictionMetal company, in 1910 started sliding bearing production, GarlockIncoperation company is established in 1958, and today, how are you getting on with the business development? KlausHofmann: Goodrich pillar of Europe in 2001, its predecessor for GlacierMetal company, purchased parts of America after merging into a new company called GGB. Soon after, Goodrich quickly separated from his industrial company, then the resulting EnProIndustries company. As a world market leader in the field of sliding bearing alloy, GGB now is the biggest branch in EnProIndustries company, as the operation of the enterprise in the world, has 7 manufacturing plants throughout the world, has a wide range of product catalogue, highly modern research and development and testing institutions, a large number of branch and extensive dealer network, so we are full of hope for the future. How to cope with the sliding bearing market competition? KlausHofmann: the bright side of the sliding bearing market is that it is still in constant growth, thus more and more designers to realize the advantages of sliding bearing alloy. There is competition, of course. On the one hand, we want to deal with competitors in local market, also on the other hand we know of the company. But some time it difficult to really make our day, from all sorts of rivals in the Asian region. Since the late 1990 s, Asian people are very active in the world, but it is a pity that they already make copies. To provide new products for our customers, we provide excellent professional consultation, and special solutions to deal with them. We must do better than our competitors. Why do some designers still prefer rolling bearing and sliding bearing don't like? KlausHofmann: I think, the more reasons from the history. Perhaps people are scared to new technology, but are not sure and don't know the situation is certainly one of the important reasons. So far we have done a very good results, we persuade designers, believe that the cost of sliding bearing alloy is relatively economical, and can provide and rolling bearing the same and in some cases even better performance. This is a long way, but we have on the right track.
