SKF and ERIKS: Meet your maintenance skills gap with confidence
02 December 2025
AGEING ASSETS, leaner teams and tighter budgets mean maintenance departments are being asked to do more with less. That is where ERIKS and SKF are making a difference

As SKF’s first Maintenance Partner in the UK and Ireland, ERIKS provides access to the tools, techniques and technical expertise that companies struggle to maintain in-house.
The skills gap is a real problem. Many are facing shortages of experienced maintenance engineers, and the knowledge required now covers a broader range than ever before. Working with ERIKS and SKF is not just a way to fill that gap, but to future-proof your approach to maintenance, with services that are standardised, certified and scalable.
When a fault is flagged or a repair is due, there is often a scramble to find the right skills and tools to act on it. With ERIKS and SKF, those resources are ready to go. ERIKS and SKF work together to support customers with a wide range of mechanical and diagnostic services. These include:
- Alignment, mounting and dismounting of rotating equipment
