Today, the companycomprises a number of facilities throughout North America andEurope, with a global network of sales engineers, aerospacedistributors, and authorized agents. Publicly held (Nasdaq:ROLL), RBC has grown steadily through strategic planning andacquisitions. Since the early nineties, these acquisitions havecontinued to expand the breadth of an extensive product line ofbearings and related products that serve global industries –chief among them, aerospace.Since its earliest days in West Trenton, New Jersey, thecompany has been at the forefront of bearing technology. RollerBearing Company of America, founded in 1919, manufactureda variety of bearing products. In 1941, Roller Bearing Companybecame the sole source supplier for the landing gear bearingson military aircraft manufactured by Ford Motor Company. TheRBC facility in West Trenton continues today to be a majorsupplier of helicopter main and tail rotor flight control bearingsto, among others, the U.S. Government.In 1990, RBC acquired Industrial Tectonics Bearings (ITB).Located in Rancho Dominguez, California, the division wasfounded in 1955. ITB manufactures custom bearings along witha complete line of thin section ball bearings with capabilities upto 40 inches outside diameter. Typical aerospace applicationsinclude engine, gearbox and transmission bearings, helicopterswashplate bearings and electro-optical targeting pods. ITBspecializes in the manufacturing of complex, high precisionbearings, utilizing special materials and coatings, while servingthe aerospace and defense markets.Transport Dynamics, founded in 1955, and was acquired in1992. Also located in southern California, Transport Dynamics isone of RBC’s main producers of plain bearings, manufacturingjournal bearings (bushings), spherical plain, and rod end productwith a focus on engine and helicopter applications. Plainbearings at Transport Dynamics are constructed in metal-tometal and as lined, self-lubricating product. Transport Dynamicsoffers over 30 different liner systems depending upon theloading, wear, and temperature conditions in the application(including the patented Fibriloid , Fabroid , and Fiberglide linertechnology). Transport Dynamics manufactures plain bearingproduct in both conventional swaged configurations and as loadslot entry bearings (Messerschmidt design). Transport Dynamicswas actually the inventor of the lined spherical bearing, with thefirst application developed in 1957 for the Chevrolet Corvettesuspension joint. Boeing adopted this new bearing design andsoon it was used throughout the 727 model aircraft. TransportDynamics actually licensed this technology to all theircompetitors back in the 1960s.Heim Bearings, Fairfield, Connecticut, joined the RBCfamily in 1993. Founded by Louis Heim in 1942, the Heim name has been known and respected for designing the firstintegral rod end bearing, specifically the Unibal sphericalbearing rod end. This bearing was originally designed to solveaircraft delivery delays due to critical shortages in rod ends andself-aligning bearings during the war effort. Heim BearingsCompany is also well known for inventing centerless grindingand for inventing the swaging process used in the manufactureof spherical plain bearings. In addition to rod end and sphericalbearings, Heim Bearings Company manufactures specializedradial ball bearings, such as a cobalt race hybrid bearing withsilicon nitride balls for a hot bleed air valve application in 2008, 2011, 2018 RBC Bearings Incorporated.

Heim Bearings Company is also the world’slargest provider of aerospace ball bearing rod ends, includingmanufacture with the corrosion-resistant AeroCres material.Ball bearing rod ends can be found throughout aircraft inpositioning and linkage assemblies, as well as on swaged tubesthroughout the airframe.In 2000, RBC acquired Schaublin SA based in Delémont,Switzerland. As a result, RBC added Schaublin’s metric rod endsand metric spherical bearings to the family of global RBCproducts, and a base with which to service the Europeanmarket. Within this 140,000 sq. ft. facility, RBC has establishedthe company’s European Distribution Center. In addition,Schaublin was licensed by Heim Bearings to market Unibal rod ends back in the 1950s. Schaublin specializes in lightweight titanium bearing solutions, including next levelassemblies utilizing integral split ball designs for the aerospaceindustry. RBC also acquired what is now called RBC France —a sales, engineering, marketing, and distribution arm forSchaublin product, located in Les Ulis, France.In December, 2003, RBC acquired the business of the formerTorrington “Standard” Plant — a long-established leader inairframe products. This facility, referred to as RBC AircraftProducts, Inc. (API) was founded in 1866. The Torringtonname is synonymous with quality engineering and precision –and complements the RBC portfolio of aerospace productofferings. At the API plant, RBC produces aircraft needletrack roller bearings, lined track rollers, cam followers, radialball bearings, and is RBC’s main facility for the production of52100 cad plated, 440C stainless, and zinc nickel plate airframecontrol ball bearings. RBC has become the number oneproducer worldwide of airframe control product and has virtuallyevery series and size Mil Spec approval along with an extensivelist of European approvals.RBC has made an additional aerospace business acquisitionin each of the years 2004, 2005, and 2006; acquiring U.S.Bearing, Chatsworth, California; Southwest Products Inc.,Baldwin Park, California; and Allpower Manufacturing, SantaFe Springs, California, respectively. Southwest Products/USBearings has the capability to offer unique swaged bearingsolutions (up to 11" OD), in addition to low friction liners andhard coat machining. The product offering has evolved toinclude split ball spherical and rod ends, large trunnionbearings, specialty rod ends and solid and welded links.SWP/USB has played a major role in the design and support ofplain bearings for commercial and military aircraft, helicopter,power plant, satellite, military land vehicle and submarineapplications. Allpower Manufacturing, a Boeing and Airbusapproved supplier, produces a full line of precision bushings,spacers, sleeves, and specialty machined parts servicing theaerospace industry. Capable of offering specialized materials,All Power is proficient with stainless steel, carbon steel,beryllium copper, Inconel , titanium, aluminum, aluminumbronze and colbalt raw materials, to name a few.In December, 2008, RBC acquired A.I.D.
