Metallurgy Industry

Steel plants are among the most demanding industrial environments in the world. The production process involves handling heavy raw materials, processing them at extremely high temperatures, and operating massive machines continuously—often 24/7. These operations take place in conditions filled with dust, moisture, vibration, and corrosive agents such as scale and steam.

In such challenging settings, bearings and power transmission components are not just mechanical parts—they are mission-critical elements that ensure equipment uptime, operational safety, and production efficiency.
