On May 22, 2023

Sweden’s SKF (SKFb.ST) is investing 50 million crowns ($4.9 million) in a magnetic bearings factory in Tangier in Morocco, the company said on Monday.

“The new site will ramp up operations during the second quarter and once fully operational, will help meet growing demand for magnetic bearings,” the world’s biggest bearings maker said in a statement.

Magnetic bearings have applications within turbomachinery and other high-speed applications such as hydrogen gas liquefaction and oil-free industrial compressors, it said.
