UK ROOSLAIS Bearing Group and EAG Bearing combine to build a high-end bearing production base, helping China's intelligent manufacturing upgrade

In July 2025, Rolls-Royce Rolling Bearing Manufacturing Group (hereinafter referred to as "Rolls-Royce Group") and EAG Bearing (hereinafter referred to as "EAG Bearing"), a leading bearing enterprise in China, formally reached a strategic cooperation. The two parties will work together to build a production base for high-end motor bearings and gearbox transmission bearings. The base is expected to have an annual production capacity of more than one million sets, through the integration of technology and production resources, to promote China's high-end bearing manufacturing to a new height.

First, multinational giants and local pioneers of the powerful combination of 

Rolls Rolling Bearing Manufacturing Group was founded in 1946, is the global benchmark of the bearing industry, precision manufacturing technology, strict quality standards and innovative R & D capabilities known, products are widely used in aviation and aerospace, industrial automation, new energy vehicles and other high-end fields. As a pioneering force in the domestic bearing manufacturing, EAG Bearing has been deeply cultivating the local market for many years, and has a perfect production system, supply chain network and profound industry experience. This cross-border cooperation marks the deep combination of international cutting-edge technology and China's manufacturing strength, injecting strong momentum for both sides to develop a broader market space.

Second, technology empowerment, to create high-end bearing production benchmark 

The two partners will integrate core resources, focusing on the research and development and production of high-end motor bearings and gearbox transmission bearings. Rolls Group will introduce its leading precision machining process, material optimization technology and intelligent inspection system, while EAG Bearing will provide mature production management experience and localized adaptation solutions. By building a R&D laboratory and upgrading the automated production line, the base will realize full digital control from design, processing to testing to ensure that the precision, durability and reliability of the products will reach the international first-class level, and meet the needs of high-speed, heavy-duty, low-noise and other demanding application scenarios.

Three, million capacity layout, accelerate the supply chain synergy effect 

The production base covers an area of 16,000 square meters, equipped with advanced production equipment and intelligent warehousing system, and is expected to have an annual capacity of one million sets after full completion. Relying on the global market channels of Rolls-Royce Group and the local customer network of EAG Bearing, the products will cover domestic and international high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, intelligent robots and other fields. Through large-scale production and supply chain optimization, the two sides will significantly reduce production costs, shorten the delivery cycle, improve the market response speed, and form a very competitive price and service advantages.

Fourth, industrial upgrading, driving a new chapter of China's intelligent manufacturing 

This cooperation not only helps enterprises break through the technical bottleneck, but also has far-reaching significance for the transformation and upgrading of China's bearing industry. High-end bearings as the core transmission components, is a key component of the "heart" of intelligent manufacturing equipment. Joint R & D between the two sides will accelerate the process of domestic bearings in the technological autonomy, high-end performance, reduce the dependence on external imports, and promote China from "manufacturing power" to "manufacturing power" transformation. At the same time, the base will drive the surrounding supporting industries to gather, forming a bearing manufacturing ecological chain, and promote the high-quality development of the regional economy.

V. Future Prospects: Mutually Beneficial and Win-Win, Leading the Industry Innovation 

Les Rolls, CEO of Rolls Group, said: "The cooperation with EAG Bearings is an important milestone in our strategic layout in China, and we look forward to jointly developing the global high-end market through technology sharing and production capacity synergy." Zhang Jie, Chairman of the Board of EAG Bearing, also emphasized, "This cooperation will significantly enhance our technological innovation capability and help the domestic bearing brand to enter the world stage." The two sides will take the production base as a starting point, continue to deepen the field of cooperation, explore more technological frontiers, and provide better transmission solutions for global customers.

Conclusion: Under the background of the wave of intelligent manufacturing sweeping the world, the joining hands between Rolls-Royce and EAG Bearing is not only a strategic win-win situation between enterprises, but also a key step for China's bearing industry to break through the bottleneck and step towards the international top level. In the future, with the full-scale production of the production base, the two sides will surely inject new kinetic energy into the development of the industry with the double enhancement of technical strength and production efficiency, and write a new chapter of high-end bearing manufacturing.
