RKB can rely on a network of modern logistics hubs in the world’s most strategic areas:

• Switzerland central hub: 15.000 sqm to deliver bearings to overseas countries
• Italy hubs: 14.000 sqm to deliver bearings to the European Union and Turkey
• Romania hub: 2.500 sqm to deliver bearings to East Europe
• America hubs: 5.000 sqm to deliver bearings to North, Central and Latin America

RKB believes that stock availability is a crucial function for the consistency, market presence and brand awareness of a world-class bearing manufacturer.

We have one of the largest stocks of rolling bearings worldwide. With over 12.000 part numbers ranging from small to extra-large sizes, the current stock reflects the international vocation of RKB to support customers in a variety of industries worldwide. Besides a well-stocked warehouse in terms of bearing variety and availability, a strong logistics organization is strictly necessary to efficiently serve the global market.

For this reason, all RKB stocks around the world are run by a proprietary software system (ASSM – Active Stock System Management) that optimizes lead time and drastically decreases machine downtime for the customer. Finally, the RKB stock strategy features the JIT bundle which supports a special form of in-house consignment stock program to ease the customer’s financial position and ensure the availability of requisite spare parts based on a partnership approach.

RKB has an ever-growing network of local warehouses directly run in cooperation with its regional partners to ensure proximity and fast delivery. All storage areas are under controlled environmental conditions to guarantee perfect conservation of the bearings.

Besides, RKB’s highly specialized packaging, specifically created to protect the bearings in unfavourable conditions, is easily recognizable and ensures brand identity all over the world.
