CCTY Bearing has expanded its forging capabilities with a new factory. In addition to more space for forging, the facility has onsite turning and heat treatment. Completed in August 2018, the nearly 12,000 sq m facility was constructed directly in front of the old building, expanding the total work area to 22,000 sq m. Both buildings, which triple the original capacity, will be used to accommodate the increased production levels. 'Up until this factory was built, tie rods were the only component that needed to be outsourced for forging,' said Bob Zhao, President, CCTY Bearing. 'Now we have a complete in-house control over all aspects of forging.'

The new facility and 120 skilled employees allow CCTY Bearing to forge tie rods ranging in size from small linkages to those that are more than 5 ft for heavy trucks. Crimping, welding and threaded options, along with heat treatment are available from the Xuyi, China location.

'When combined with the other onsite critical processes like welding and PTFE weaving, it is easy to see why we are able to consistently produce highly precise bearings,'said Mitul Dave, Managing Director, CCTY Bearing India.

CCTY Bearing has a history of investing in tooling, equipment and capacity. In 2016, the company moved into a new 70,000 sq m factory in Zhenjiang, China. The upgraded plant includes the latest in robotic technology, on premises research and development, testing labs and warehousing. Tours of both plants are available to the existing customers and can be coordinated with the sales representatives.

CCTY Bearing manufactures precisely engineered bearing products under the advisement of expert engineers, metallurgist and tribologists. The CCTY product line includes rod ends, tie rods, spherical plain bearings, ball joints and bushings, among others.
