Bowman International Group Appointed as UK & Ireland Distribution Partner for COC Bearings
Abingdon, UK – July 2025. Bowman International Group has been appointed as the UK & Ireland Distribution Partner for COC bearings, marking a significant milestone for Bowman. Following the acquisition by Bowman of Criptic Arvis in mid-2024, Bowman has been expanding its housed bearing portfolio.
As a leading innovator, manufacturer, and distributor of the Bowman ADVANCED and Spherical Split Roller Bearings, Bowman recognised that the acquisition of Criptic Arvis could be further enhanced by the addition of the COC bearing range. The approach from COC Bearings provides Bowman with the opportunity to offer complete bearing packages.
The inclusion of the COC Bearing ranges including world class products such as the CROSSLOC™ Adaptor Mount and OCCLOC™ locking systems with easy installation, eliminating fitting errors and a 100% constant-pressure seal to protect the bearing for longer life into Bowman’s product portfolio was an easy choice, with innovation being at the heart of both organisations that share perfectly aligned cultures.
Like Bowman, COC Bearings is dedicated to product development, exploring every technological opportunity to make the world’s power transmission industry safer and easier whilst reducing down time for the customer.
By adding the COC Unitised Housed Spherical Roller Bearing and the IP69K rated maintenance-free sealing system (ensuring food safety), Saniline Stainless Steel and Housed Ball Bearing product ranges to its portfolio, Bowman can now offer housed bearings for most externally mounted applications.
