Our journey through time

A jornada da Fersa´s journey began in 1968, with the merger of two family-run automotive workshops—SJF (founded by Jorge Abad) and AJR Tomás (founded by the Algás brothers)—to form FERDSA (Special Manufacturers of Bearings S.A.) in Zaragoza, Spain.

Over the decades, this union evolved into a globally recognized leader in the bearing industry, supported by a steadfast commitment to quality, modernization, and innovation.

1940–1967:The Foundations of Excellence The Abad and Algás families independently revolutionized bearing manufacturing, laying the groundwork for a shared vision.

1968–1980:From workshops to factory The establishment of FERDSA marked the start of mass production, cutting-edge investments, and the introduction of tapered roller bearings.

1981–2001:European standardization and quality
FERDSA redefined quality standards and expanded its product portfolio to include flange and special bearings. In 1993, the company became FERSA, transitioning to an employee-owned model.

2002–2022:Global expansion and innovation Through strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and advanced R&D, Fersa cemented its presence on the global stage. Key milestones include:


•2009: Launch of international technical-sales offices in Brazil, marking the start of Fersa’s global outreach.

•2016: Formation of Fersa Group through the acquisition of Austrian manufacturer NKE, strengthening the company’s capabilities and market presence

•2022: Launch of the Smart Mobility unit and acquisition of PFI Group Inc., solidifying Fersa’s position in the Americas.

•2023: Strategic acquisition of Delux Bearings in India, reinforcing Fersa’s position in Asia and expanding its global manufacturing footprint.

2024–Present:Advancing OEM Excellence Fersa has reorganized its operations into Automotive and Industrial divisions, boosting expertise and operational efficiency. In tandem, the company has expanded OEM manufacturing in Spain, India, and China, while enhancing distribution capabilities and technical support across Latin America to better serve customer needs. These initiatives underscore Fersa's commitment to innovation, global growth, and setting new benchmarks in the bearing industry.
