About PEER Bearing
About PEER Bearing
PEER Bearing Company built its name as a manufacturer of reliable ball and roller bearings, with a history tracing back to the Archer Bearing business formed in the early 1940s before it was reorganized under the PEER Bearing name. That long manufacturing history has given PEER deep experience across standard and customized bearing designs.
The company's bearing lines serve the agricultural, electrical, fluid handling including HVAC, industrial transmission, material handling including baggage handling, and off-highway equipment industries. That diversification across sectors reflects PEER's focus on being a dependable source for both common and application-specific bearing configurations.
SKF acquired PEER Bearing Company in 2008, bringing it into the SKF Group of Companies while PEER continued operating from its Waukegan, Illinois headquarters.
