Craft Bearing is the only split cylindrical roller bearing made in the United States, ensuring high quality while allowing customers quick access to technical assistance, service, and prompt delivery. Many Navy, state, and federal procurements—including marine, wastewater, and water treatment facilities—require “Made in America” products, and Craft Bearing meets those needs. Recognized as an approved or specified product for numerous government and other applications, it also appeals to many end users who prefer or require domestic manufacturing. This makes Craft Bearing a strong selling point for suppliers handling repairs or final products. Buy “Made in America.”
