Bearings and energy supply systems for car exteriors

Minimise corrosion in radiator grilles, brake callipers, windscreen wipers&front spoilers

Components in automotive exteriors are exposed to adverse conditions. Temperature fluctuations, salt, water, dirt and dust all affect them. We offer suitable plastic-bearing and -energy chains for use in windscreen wipers, headlights and other moving components, and will be happy to help you make the right choice.
