Country of origin of the brand and the country of origin: learn to distinguish between concepts.

Acquiring a bearing, the buyer is interested in that he worked as long as possible and did not deliver unnecessary trouble during the operation. In other words, so that it is of high quality. A lot of money is invested in the purchase, as the quality bearing defaults to more expensive than its Chinese "brothers". However, sometimes it happens that, having received the desired bearing, the buyer feels deceived - on the box is not the country for which the manufacturer is listed. What is it - a fake, which the cunning seller decided to put up for the original - or is the essence of the question lies deeper

In fact, not always in such cases, the bearing is a fake. Large manufacturing companies have a huge turnover of products, and in order to ensure non-decreasing demand for their goods, they open branches and joint ventures in other countries. World famous premium bearing brands - FAG, Koyo, SKF - have their offices around the world.

For example, country of brand FAG - Germany. However, the concern has branches in the USA, Brazil, the UK, Northern European countries, Korea and China. Information on production sites is freely available, it can be easily found on the official website of the company. Therefore, having received the FAG bearing, which is indicated on the package producing country Korea, do not panic - in front of you is not a fake, but a branded product.

Making sure that he is holding the original bearing in his hands, the buyer will have one important and quite logical question: does the country of production affect the level of product quality? Will the bearing from Korea serve as much as the bearing from Germany? Yes, there will be. After all, opening a branch in another country, the manufacturer is interested in ensuring that the level of products remains high - otherwise the level of trust in the brand will fall. New plants receive branded equipment, personnel undergo special training - all this guarantees a consistently high product quality, regardless of the country of production.

Of course, there are cases when a cheap counterfeit is hidden under the guise of a branded product. Knowing the features of the manufacturer and the availability of reliable, proven suppliers and vendors will help protect yourself from such troubles.
