A global brand with a local presence - this is the corporate structure of Rothe Erde. A total of approx. 6,000 people are employed in 11 companies worldwide. Our subsidiaries are based across four continents:

Slewing bearings, rolling bearings and seamlessly rolled rings as well as their components are manufactured in 14 plants worldwide. The components are mainly obtained from in-house production in order to guarantee the high quality of the products.
The plants manufacture the products in different sizes for different areas of application, so that a diverse product portfolio can be offered.
A close cooperation between the individual companies is essential in order to implement individual customer requirements. An example: The intercontinental cooperation between our subsidiaries based in Germany, Slovakia and Japan made it possible to realize a project for a Chinese customer. As part of this project, the three companies manufactured main bearings for wind turbines.
