Optimal Paper Production
Full-Service Bearing TechnologyFAG Kugelfischer is a pioneer in the rolling bearing industry. In 1883, Friedrich Fischer designed a ball grinding machine. This idea is regarded as the historic beginning of the rolling bearing industry. INA’s success story began in 1949 with the development of the needle roller and cage assembly by Dr. Georg Schaeffler, an ingenious idea that helped the needleroller bearing achieve an industrial breakthrough.
