We’re doing everything we can to put corporate protectionism on the agenda. That's why we're launching The Patent Bay - a platform for sharing a new kind of torrent: patents. To spread the word about this initiative, we are reaching out to the real professionals. Learn how patents can be a tool for progress in this paid collaboration with New York Times Advertising .

SKF joins LeadIT – Driving Industrial Decarbonization Together We’re proud to announce that SKF is now a member of Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT) – a global initiative launched by Sweden and India to accelerate the shift to net-zero emissions in heavy industry. Why does this matter? Industrial sectors account for nearly 30% of global CO₂ emissions. At SKF, we believe collaboration is key to tackling this challenge. By joining LeadIT, we strengthen our commitment to: - Achieve net-zero across our value chain by 2050 - Scale circular solutions like remanufacturing and RecondOil - Drive policy and technology innovation for sustainable industry Hear from Annika Ölme ♦️,CTO and Senior Vice President Technology Development on why this step is so important for SKF and the future of industry. Together, we fight friction to move the world forward. #LeadIT #Sustainability #NetZero #SKF

For over 40 years, SKF and INSA Lyon - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon have been advancing tribology and lubrication science. Now, we launched our third research chair: “Reimagining Lubrication – Advanced Bearing Lubrication for a Better Tomorrow.” Our CTO Annika Ölme ♦️ and Greg Zimmerman joined the inauguration, reinforcing the importance of partnerships that turn academic research into industrial solutions for real-world challenges in aerospace and beyond, where performance, safety, and sustainability are critical. A proud moment for us as Guillermo E. Morales Espejel, Principal Scientist, received an Honorary Doctorate from INSA Lyon—recognizing his outstanding contributions to tribology and bearing technology. His ability to bridge theory and application has shaped our product development and continues to inspire the next generation of engineers. Together, we’re fighting friction and driving sustainable progress. Link to video in comments. #Innovation #Collaboration #LessFrictionMoreProgress #Sustainability

At COP30 in Belém, Brazil, SKF had the privilege of hosting a session under the spirit of Mutirão—a collective effort to tackle shared challenges. Together with TRATON GROUP and SSAB , we explored how collaboration across industries and value chains can close the implementation gap and scale proven solutions for decarbonization and circularity. The challenge isn’t technology—it’s systemic friction. Misaligned incentives, inconsistent standards, and fragmented policies slow progress. But when materials, mobility, and manufacturing come together, sustainability, efficiency, and competitiveness can work as one. Thank you to our panelists: - Martin Pei , CTO at SSAB - Andreas Follér , CSO at Traton Group - Annika Ölme ♦️, CTO and SVP Technology Development at SKF Moderated by Sofie Runius Cederberg , Head of Group Sustainability at SKF. Watch the key takeaways from our discussion and join the conversation on how we can turn ambition into action. #COP30 #Sustainability #Decarbonization #CircularEconomy #Collaboration #SKF #SwedenAtCOP #SwedenTheClimateMatchmaker

Another Gothia Cup tournament took over Gothenburg City, Sweden, this summer. 1939 teams, 74 nations and five days of celebration. 120.000 visitors to the SKF Arena in the middle of the city, and lots of memories made. Less friction, more celebration. Gothia Cup Link in comments to learn more.

Intense and inspiring days for the SKF delegation at COP30 in Belém, Brazil! We’ve been deeply engaged in conversations on how to fight systemic friction and accelerate the implementation of sustainable technologies that already is here today. From panel discussion with E.ON and The World Bank on tools to accelerate decarbonization, to meetings with Sida, EKN Exportkreditnämnden , and Alfa Laval to joining a great customer event with Vale , professionally arranged by SKF in Brasil, we are energized to move forward and continue to drive progress. Now it’s about creating the enabling conditions and political decisions that allow the entire value chain to move faster toward a fossil-free future. #SKF #COP30 #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CircularEconomy #SwedenAtCOP #SwedenTheClimateMatchmaker
