General Bearing Company Pty Ltd (GBC) is a family-owned Australian company established in 1972, bringing over 40 years of expertise in the bearing industry. GBC was among the pioneers in importing Chinese bearings, along with well-known international brands such as KBC (now part of FAG or the Schaeffler Group), JIB, and GMB, all reputable manufacturers from Korea.
Like any early market entrants, GBC faced its share of challenges, particularly with Chinese products in the beginning. However, through these early experiences, GBC has grown stronger, improving its offerings and expertise. Today, the company not only provides top-quality products but also possesses the technical know-how to handle complex issues that may arise in bearing applications.
What sets General Bearing Company apart from its competitors is its deep understanding of the potential issues that can arise in bearing manufacturing. This knowledge allows GBC to carefully select manufacturing partners that meet its high standards. The company has a dedicated team in China focused on ensuring quality, and its engineers conduct regular visits to audit manufacturing facilities.
GBC’s commitment to providing high-quality products at competitive prices is evident in its long-standing relationships with customers across various industries. These industries include materials handling, engineering, air conditioning, agriculture, and mining, among others. For over a decade, GBC has also been a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier to the automotive sector. In addition to bearings, GBC supplies a wide range of engineering components to various industries, demonstrating its commitment to offering exceptional service and quality.
In recent years, General Bearing Company has expanded its product offerings and is now also serving as an Australia agent for the Ever-power Group. Apart from bearings, GBC now supplies a variety of high-quality drivetrain components, including chains, sprockets, gearboxes, motors, drive shafts, and other precision-machined products. This evolution highlights GBC’s broader focus on providing comprehensive solutions and continues to solidify its position as a trusted supplier in multiple industries.
