Who is GGB
Our passion fuels groundbreaking advancements that enhance human potential. By collaborating closely from the early design stages, we push beyond conventional surface engineering solutions, developing tailored, high-performance technologies. Built on a foundation of trust, determination, and respect, we cultivate strong partnerships that inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and deliver exceptional results.
Commercial vehicle design engineers operate in a challenging environment that requires them to address a wide range of technical, regulatory, and economic constraints. These challenges stem from the need to balance performance, efficiency, durability, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness, all while meeting the expectations of customers and drivers. Additionally, the transition to electric and hybrid commercial vehicles introduces challenges in battery integration, thermal management, weight distribution, and powertrain efficiency.
At GGB, we understand the critical role reliability, efficiency, and durability play in keeping your business moving forward. By offering customized, and cost-effective bearing and coating solutions, GGB helps commercial vehicle design engineers overcome their challenges and deliver high-performance vehicles that meet the needs of their customers.
Fuel efficiency is a top priority for commercial vehicle fleets, where every component's performance impacts overall operating costs. GGB's low-friction bearings and coatings reduce mechanical drag in key systems such as suspension, steering, and transmissions, enabling smoother operation, lower energy loss, and improved fuel economy. Additionally, our self-lubricating solutions extend service intervals, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Commercial vehicles are built to carry heavy loads, which can place significant stress on components. GGB’s bearings and coatings are engineered to handle these high loads while maintaining long-lasting performance. By distributing loads evenly and minimizing bearing stresses, our solutions enhance component longevity and reduce the risk of fatigue failures.
Simplify your assembly processes with GGB’s plain bearings and coatings, designed for easy installation and tight tolerances. Our solutions reduce edge loading, ensure even load distribution, and accommodate high misalignment, helping your vehicles perform optimally while cutting down on maintenance time and labor costs.
From exposure to extreme temperatures to road salt and chemicals, commercial vehicles must endure harsh environments. GGB’s corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-lasting protection, while our self-lubricating polymers safeguard components in unexpected lubrication breakdowns. These features reduce the risk of system failures, ensuring reliability and peace of mind.
Tighter environmental regulations demand innovative solutions. GGB bearings and coatings are engineered to meet strict emissions and performance standards while helping OEMs design vehicles that are efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly. GGB is committed to supporting these efforts with energy-efficient solutions. Our bearings are designed to reduce friction, improve fuel economy, and enhance energy efficiency, making them ideal for both traditional and electric vehicles.
Driver comfort is essential for productivity and safety. GGB bearings and coatings reduce noise and vibration, providing a quieter and smoother ride. They also improve handling and stability by ensuring reliable movement in suspension, steering, and drivetrain systems, reducing driver fatigue and enhancing overall vehicle control.
