Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing acquires Aurotek TSB

Feb. 11, 2021
This acquisition aligns with Auburn's strategy to expand its product offerings to include American-made precision radial bearings, along with our current thrust ball and roller bearings, in low- to mid- volume production runs

Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing, an American-based designer and manufacturer of thrust bearings, custom bearings and precision components, have acquired the assets of Aurotek TSB.

Aurotek is specialized in the production of precision thin section bearings for a broad array of industries. These bearings are used in a variety of applications, namely, for use in defense weapon systems, medical equipment, radar equipment, aerospace guidance systems, packaging machines, industrial assembly machines and robotics for security, medical, nuclear and defense systems.

According to Auburn, this acquisition aligns with its strategy to expand its product offerings to include American-made precision radial bearings, along with our current thrust ball and roller bearings, in low- to mid- volume production runs.

Aurotek TSB was founded by Dr. Don Cancelmo, who spent his entire career working in the thin section bearing industry. Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing had been a supplier of rings and bearing components to the company since 2011.

Previously located in Herkimer New York, the operations and assets of Aurotek will be moved to Macedon, New York, where the business will continue to operate within the Auburn facility.
