The World Bearing Association has
launched an awareness campaign to
inform about potential safety
hazards that arise from counterfeit
bearings. The campaign will reach
out to audiences via e-mails, website
banners, social media and the
website: www.stopfakebearings.com.

The Schaeffler Group with its
bearing brands INA and FAG has
been fighting counterfeiting for many
years. “We are seeking close contact
with public authorities and we are
cooperating closely with associations
and other industrial companies to draw
public attention to this issue.We strictly
adhere to a consistent zero tolerance
strategy. This means we examine and
pursue each and every case, also
seemingly petty offences,worldwide”,
says Dr. Juergen M. Geissinger,
president and CEO of Schaeffler Group.
