Vesconite

Vesconite Vesconite makes wear-resistant bearing materials for challenging operating conditions. The story of Vesconite Bearings goes right back to 1958.

In 1968 founder and chemical engineer Alain Leger began researching the potential for bearing materials in ultra-deep gold mines of South Africa – a notoriously harsh environment characterised by extreme dirt and wetness. More than sixty years on, Vesconite Bearings is a world-leading manufacturer of low-friction, low-wear polymer bearing materials for a wide range of industries. Selling to over 1

00 countries. These include the pump, agriculture, railways, mining, heavy transport, hydro, renewable-energy, earthmoving, marine and construction industries.

In 1977, Vesconite Bearings achieved its first success in a marine application on the RP Jackson, a hard-working pilot vessel operating in Durban Harbour, South Africa.
