RBC – Roller Bearing Company was founded in the United States in 1919 to manufacture rollers and ball bearings. Today, the company continues its activities with 28 factories and branches in 5 different countries and over 3500 employees.
RBC, which has unique bearing design and technical solution capabilities at the spherical level, has been represented by AGM, which operates within the framework of the same goal, as the Sole Official Distributor in Turkey since 1999.
RBC has made its product range much richer by incorporating the HEIM, NICE, SCHAUBLIN, TYSON, DODGE, PIC, LUBRON, UNIBAL, CLIMAX, WESTERN PRECISSION AERO, TCI (Turbine Components) and SARGENT brands with its global acquisitions since 1990.
AGM offers these top segment bearings and other products produced by RBC and other group brands to all critical areas of use in our country. This process starts at the project design stages especially in the R&D departments of end-user companies and turns into technical consultancy with the participation of RBC engineers during the development processes of the projects. In projects where mass production is started, requirements such as reasonable prices and timely deliveries and the supply of all necessary documents and certificates for our accredited products are carefully followed and a problem-free solution partnership is ensured.
Thus, the AGM – RBC cooperation contributes to the optimization of important parameters such as time, labor and budgetary suitability for our valued customers in all critical projects.
