We’re delighted to announce that we have launched the B2K Training Academy offering various training solutions to our customers’ maintenance, production, and procurement teams. 

Lack of knowledge and incorrect techniques in the handling, storing, mounting, and maintenance of bearings can cause premature bearing failure and unplanned equipment breakdowns. Such incidences can cost companies in unexpected downtime and increased spending on consumables whilst adding unnecessary pressures on all departments and stakeholders. 

Our aim is to improve the service life and reliability of rotating equipment for our customers by upskilling and sharing knowledge on these various areas of the bearing’s realm. 

The B2K Training Academy offering includes instructor-led training courses, on-site informal toolbox talks, and an online webinar series.

These also include introducing new products to the team and any training required. 

Monthly webinar series:

These webinars will be of a duration of 60 minutes and will include a Q&A, summary emails, and follow ups will be sent to ensure that maximum value is gained from attending.
