Fersa Bearings enters into strategic partnership with Knorr-Bremse TruckServices

 

Bearings manufacturer Fersa Bearings announces a new strategic partnership with Knorr-Bremse TruckServices, the commercial vehicles aftermarket brand of Knorr-Bremse AG. With headquarters in Munich, Germany, Knorr-Bremse is a global market leader for braking systems and other systems for rail and commercial vehicles. Starting immediately, Knorr-Bremse TruckServices will become a strategic sales partner for wheel bearings and wheel hubs from Fersa Bearings, complementing Knorr-Bremse’s own wheel-end portfolio.

The objective of the strategic partnership is to reinforce Knorr-Bremse’s product portfolio for commercial vehicles in Europe. Knorr-Bremse will incorporate the full range of Fersa products for wheel-end and axle applications in commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses and trailers. The cooperation between the two companies will strengthen the presence of Fersa Bearings in the European market through Knorr-Bremse’s network of distributors.
