About Maritex Bearings
In an increasingly competitive world, there will always be demand for products that offer value together with companies that can provide simple straightforward service supplied in a timely manner.
Both OEM and aftermarket equipment can benefit with the use of Maritex lightweight advanced composites. Significant atvantages for some applications can be realised well beyond the cost of the actual bearing, such as reducing overall mass and even eliminating the use of oil-based lubricants.
The boat building, petro-chemical and mining industries have been quick to recognise the advantages offered by Maritex composite bearing material. Maritex is committed to continuous product improvement and has invested more than twelve years developing a specialised range of composite bearing and associated wear resistant materials.
The stakes don't get any higher than this!
