For decades, Kamatics (USA) andRWG (Germany) have been designing, testing, and manufacturing the highest performing bearings and operational critical parts in the industry, excelling under the most demanding conditions. Our proven innovations have kept us in front in our industry and helped clients keep out in front of theirs.

With over 40 years of experience in the marine industry, 25 years in hydropower, and 20 years in oil and gas, our vast knowledge and understanding of self-lubricating bearings allows us to work hand-in-hand with our customers to tailor the optimal self-lubricating bearing liner for each application. Our advanced research teams continually test and introduce new technologies and materials to support the evolving demands of each industry.

Our operations perform at the same high level as our products. With facilities in both the USA (Kamatics) and Germany (RWG), it is vital to implement great process and sound automation to ensure quality, reliability, short lead-times, and low cost. At Kaman, we invest heavily in formal training of operators, quality inspectors, engineers, and management personnel.

Our field engineers are on-site all over the globe, providing customers with hands-on, immediate support. We assist in the design of new marine, hydropower, and oil and gas systems, help solve problems with legacy facilities and platforms, and offer new technologies for the future. Our inside sales team and design engineers support field engineering and customers with reports, drawings, technical data and unparalleled service levels.
