The strategic alliance between Bearings International (BI) and I-MAK initiated in February 2019 signalled a new chapter in BI’s mission to augment its selection of premium brand offerings in a bid to deliver top-tier strategic solutions to Africa’s sub-Saharan region. From planetary, worm and aerator units, to flagship products like its inline helical, parallel shaft, helical bevel, and monoblock IGU, I-MAK provides over one million product references, ensuring a solution for every specific industrial need.
Business unit leader, Kobus Groenewald unpacks the unparalleled advantages that the I-MAK range offers customers: “These are world-class quality, affordable, two-year warranty products that are backed by specialist local and international support.”
The I-MAK product portfolio focuses on essentially all industrial segments, with utilities, automotive, and sugar identified as key sectors, while particular emphasis is placed on manufacturing, mining, FMCG and water treatment due to their high growth potential.
I-MAK’s products, which are available exclusively for the sub-Saharan region via BI, are comprehensive, and include a wide range of gearboxes and drive solutions designed to address the most pressing challenges currently faced by the gearbox market. Supporting the extensive I-MAK product range is BI’s exceptional customer service, which includes 24-hour breakdown support and a fully equipped factory and engineering facility.
