Bearing Maker Clocks Up Quarter Century

Criptic Arvis is celebrating 25 years of service to industry. Company Chairman Bernard Warren and two of the company's engineers have been involved from the beginning, and the combined length of service for all 10 employees is 177 years. This figure is all the more remarkable figure given that two current members of the team have only recently completed their engineering apprenticeships. Arvis is a bearing manufacturing company that complements rather than competes with other bearing manufacturing companies. As well as the standard ranges of housings, the company has specialist knowledge in the design and production of special bearing housings, plain bearings, self aligning spherical plain bearings and bearing products, and has been solving bearing problems since 1981. To reduce downtime and save customers money, the company has developed a range of steel bearing housings to replace the original cast iron housings. It has long been recognised as the major UK supplier to the bearing distribution industry, the world's major ball and roller bearing manufacturers and the individual customer when they require special units. The Exalign range of premounted plain bearings is an Arvis product that is used throughout the world where mounted ball bearings are not suitable. The company is the UK's largest manufacturer of fully split brass rigid bearings with considerable stocks, including the DIN504, DIN505 and DIN506 ranges. All bearing housings, plain bearings and machined parts are manufactured to a quality system approved by BSI.
