Koyo

Koyo: JTEKT's brand name for their Bearing business.

JTEKT Corporation owns and operates eighteen bearings plants in seven countries along with six R&D Technical Engineering Centers on three continents. They offer innovative solutions to both original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket end users, focusing on key markets such as automotive, agriculture and construction, heavy industry (steel & wind mill), gear, reducer, electric motor and general machinery. The Koyo brand has also established itself within the automotive and industrial manufacturering sectors around the world and has attained ISO/TS 16949 certification at all of their bearing manufacturing and sales facilities.

JTEKT engineering and manufacturing capabilities range from super large bearings exceeding several meters in diameter to miniature bearings with inner diameters as small as one millimeter. Utilising new materials and the latest in manufacturing technology, JTEKT Corporation has developed hybrid ceramic bearings and a variety of extreme special environment bearings to meet the increasingly severe and demanding requirements of modern industries.

In 2010 JTEKT acquired the production facilities and design rights to the Legacy Brands of Torrington and Nadella. Despite relinquishing licenced rights to use the Torrington brand name in 2013, they continue to manufacture bearings associated with both Torrington and Nadella to this day.
