The story of Vesconite goes right back to 1968, when founder and chemical
engineer Alain Leger began researching the potential for polymer bearing materials in ultra-deep gold mines of South Africa – a notoriously harsh environment characterised by extreme dirt and wetness. 

Founded in 1958, Vesconite Bearings is a world-leading manufacturer of low-friction, low-wear polymer bearing materials for a wide range of industries. These include the pump, agriculture, railways, mining, heavy-transport, hydro, renewable-energy, earthmoving, marine and construction industries.
