Special congratulations to some of our most active SKF Distributor College branches!

We are pleased to recognize Florida Bearings in Orlando, FL, and Brown Transmission and Bearing in Lancaster, PA, for having 3 or more employees “graduate” from SKF Distributor College - in other words, they’ve completed all courses available in SKF Distributor College.

Each organization was presented with a plaque for display in their branch location. Special thanks to both of these organizations for their continuing commitment to growing their knowledge of SKF products and services.
