CITIC Heavy Industries and SKF continue a new chapter of cooperation

On February 27, 2025, CITIC Heavy Industries successfully held the 2024 Supplier Conference in Luoyang, Henan Province with the theme of "Gathering Strengths for Win-Win and Linking the Future". SKF was once again awarded the title of "CITIC Heavy Industries 2024 Strategic Supplier" for its outstanding technical capabilities, efficient service level and significant contribution to supply chain optimization. At the same time, the two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement for 2025 at the meeting, further deepening their cooperation.

Thirty years of hand in hand, creating new heights in the industry

Since the establishment of a cooperative relationship in 1995, SKF and CITIC Heavy Industries have gone through a thirty-year cooperation journey together. Starting from the initial supply of parts, the two parties gradually expanded to bearings, seals, lubrication and intelligent monitoring and other fields, forming a comprehensive solution system. These technical achievements are widely used in CITIC Heavy Industries' core equipment, including key equipment such as mining hoists, mills, roller presses, rotary kilns and gearboxes, which significantly improve the operating efficiency and market competitiveness of the equipment.

By continuously expanding the scope of cooperation and deepening the content of cooperation, the two parties have not only established a solid strategic partnership, but also set a benchmark for the heavy equipment manufacturing industry.

Localization strategy, empowering industrial upgrading

As China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry accelerates transformation and upgrading, SKF actively responds to market demand and continuously increases its localization layout in the Chinese market. By improving local production capacity, SKF has significantly shortened the product delivery cycle and improved service response speed, providing strong support for the business development of CITIC Heavy Industries.

SKF has played an important role in the promotion of many key projects, such as the research and development and manufacturing of equipment such as super-large mining hoists, dual-drive high-power mills and vertical stirring mills. By optimizing condition monitoring and lubrication systems, SKF helps CITIC Heavy Industries maintain its leading position in the industry with innovative technology and high-quality products.

Cooperation upgrades to create a win-win ecosystem

As the only imported bearing brand that won this honor at this conference, SKF will continue to build a core manufacturing ecosystem with CITIC Heavy Industries based on high-quality products, stable supply capabilities and perfect after-sales service. The strategic cooperation agreement signed this time marks a new stage in the cooperation between the two parties.

In the future, SKF and CITIC Heavy Industries will take "intelligent, clean and efficient" as their development direction, further strengthen technical cooperation, promote the transformation and upgrading of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and achieve common development.
