From Jiaxing to North America and Europe
The plant was founded in 2007 in Jiashan County, an hour from Shanghai, and has grown into 20 automated production lines with an output of around two million plain bearings a month. Bronze is turned and bored on 25 CNC machines; bimetal strip is sintered and rolled in-house; composite bushings run on automated forming lines.
Most of the output ships to North America and Europe, to OEMs, tier suppliers and distributors in construction machinery, hydraulics, pumps, agricultural equipment and automotive programmes. Enquiries are answered by a technical team of more than ten engineers and product designers, within 12 hours.
The rule we work to is simple: quote what we make, publish only what we can prove, and sample before we sell. Samples of standard and custom parts are free and there is no minimum order quantity.
What is made in-house
Four bearing materials under one roof. Controlling the material is how we control the bond, the wall and the tolerance.
Cast and machined bronze
C93200 / SAE 660, C86300 / SAE 430B, C95400 aluminium bronze and high-strength brass, turned and bored on 25 CNC machines from Ø3 to Ø1000 mm. Samples in 3–5 days.
Bimetal strip and bushings
Steel-backed strip with CuPb10Sn10, CuPb24Sn4, CuPb6Sn6Zn3, CuSn10, CuSn6.5P or AlSn20Cu bearing layers, sintered and rolled in our own plant, then formed into bushings, half bearings and thrust plates.
PTFE and POM composite bushings
Metal-polymer bushings, flanged bushings, thrust washers and strip formed on automated lines. The largest share of the two-million-piece monthly output.
Graphite-plugged bronze
650-series grades CuZn25Al5Mn4, CuSn5Pb5Zn5, CuAl10Ni5Fe5 and CuSn12 with solid-lubricant plugs for grease-free heavy duty.
Hardened steel bushings
JBM-ST sleeves in Grade 45, 40Cr, 20CrMo and GCr15, heat treated to HRC 58–62, with machined oil-groove patterns.
Made to drawing
Special geometry, split bushings, flanges, grooves and large diameters in any of the materials. Quotation against your drawing, OE or supplier part number.

Inside the plant
Working with us from abroad
Enquiries arrive by e-mail or the quotation form and are answered within 12 hours in English. A drawing or a part number is enough to start; when the dimensions, material and quantity arrive together, the answer is often a matter of minutes.
Samples are free for standard and custom parts and ship by courier. Production runs are packed for export and shipped by sea, air or courier as the order requires, with the inspection documentation agreed at quotation.
Talk to the people who make the parts.
Send a drawing, a part number or a question. An engineer, not a sales script, replies within 12 hours.
