Continuing export message from SC Rulmenti SA, one of Europe's largest bearing manufacturers

SC Rulmenti SA, one of the largest bearing manufacturers in Europe, continues to export goods

despite all the difficulties in the Coronavirus pandemic process with its 1.100 employees.

Despite the pandemic, ART Bearing continues its production without interruption.

Anadolu Rulman A.Ş., a subsidiary of Bera Holding (ART Bearings) continues its production without

interruption despite the Coronavirus pandemic. Anadolu Rulman A.Ş, one of the two bearing

manufacturers in Turkey, started the production of tapered roller bearings for the first time in our

country in 2008.

S.C. Rulmenti S.A, with the investments and quality improvements made after privatization, is among the most successful companies in Romania

It has been announced that it was decided to purchase 61,500 shares of Anadolu Rulman, a 100%

subsidiary of SC Rulmenti, Romania, the 90.70% of share belonging to Bera Holding, for 34.4

million TL.

“Despite the challenges, the Turkish bearing market is expected to grow by more than 10 percent in 2020”

Noting that nearly 70% of the bearings consumed in Turkey and in the world are ball bearings,

Tepe continued: “The size of the registered bearing market in Turkey has reached the level of 700

million dollars. Despite many difficulties, especially the pandemic, the Turkish bearing market is

expected to grow by more than 10 percent in 2020 As ART, we share the pride of being one of the

two manufacturers in Turkey in the production of ball bearings. Turkey's position in the world

bearing market, on the other hand, is increasing every year, despite the imbalance in domestic

imports.

“Needs-based and quality bearings are now in demand

Stating that there have been significant changes in the supply system in the Turkish bearing

industry in the recent period, Fatih Tepe said, “Due to the developments in the industry and

technological advances, the end users of bearings have become much more conscious. Instead of

supplying bearings focused on brand and/or price, needs-based and quality bearings are now

being demanded. These and other developments have started to ensure more conscious use of

bearings and to provide maximum benefit from the product as a unit cost.

“We focused on the health of our employees, we made great efforts to continue production.”

Noting that as companies affiliated to the holding, amidst the pandemic, they are trying to closely

follow all developments related to Covid19, General Manager Tepe said, “While our focus is on the

health of our employees, great efforts have been made to simultaneously continue production. In

addition to the instructions and recommendations of our Ministry of Health, full coordination has

been ensured in our factories with the guidance of the 'Outbreak Coordination Unit' established at

the holding headquarters.
