About FAG
FAG was founded in 1883 by Friedrich Fischer in Schweinfurt, Germany, when he invented the ball grinding machine that made the production of perfectly round steel balls possible. This innovation revolutionized the bearing industry and established FAG as a pioneer in precision bearing manufacturing.
The company name "FAG" stands for "Fischers Aktien-Gesellschaft" (Fischer's Corporation), reflecting its founder's legacy. Today, FAG is part of the Schaeffler Group, a global automotive and industrial supplier, but continues to maintain its distinct brand identity and reputation for German engineering excellence.
With over 130 years of experience, FAG has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and innovation. The company's comprehensive product range includes ball bearings, roller bearings, and specialized bearings for demanding applications across various industries.
