According to SKF, the two companies will, under a new partnership, work together on improving the performance of the steelmaker’s rolling mill. The partnership is built on a fee-based arrangement that covers bearings, bearing remanufacturing, maintenance services and application engineering, and tools.

“By working together to understand the performance of Deacero’s rolling mills, bearing service life and machine uptime can be increased, reducing overall maintenance costs and improving the production output and sustainability performance of the mill,” SKF said in a statement.
