NN, Inc. is a diversified industrial company and a leading global manufacturer
of high precision bearing components, industrial plastic products and precision
metal components to a variety of markets on a global basis. We have 40 manufacturing
plants in North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and China.
Our business is aggregated into three reportable segments, the Precision Bearing
Components Group, the Precision Engineered Products Group and the Autocam Precision
Components Group.
Precision Bearing Components Group
Within our Precision Bearing Components Group, we manufacture and supply high
precision bearing components, consisting of balls, cylindrical rollers, tapered
rollers, spherical rollers and metal retainers, for leading bearing and CV-joint
manufacturers on a global basis. We are a leading independent manufacturer of
precision steel bearing balls and rollers for the North American, European and
Asian markets. We offer one of the industry’s most complete lines of commercially
available bearing components. We emphasize application-specific engineered products
that take advantage of competencies in product design and tight tolerance manufacturing
processes. Our customers use our components in fully assembled ball and roller
bearings and CV-joints, which serve a wide variety of end markets, including
automotive, agricultural, construction, machinery, heavy truck, and rail.
Precision Engineered Products Group
Following the PEP Acquisition, we combined the operations of PEP with our Plastics
and Rubber Components Segment. Within our Precision Engineered Products Group,
we combine materials science expertise with advanced engineering and production
capabilities to design and manufacture a broad range of high-precision metal
and plastic components, assemblies, and finished devices for the medical, electrical,
automotive and aerospace end markets.
Autocam Precision Components Group
Within our Autocam Precision Components Group, we manufacture highly engineered,
difficult-to-manufacture precision metal components and subassemblies for the
automotive, HVAC, fluid power and diesel engine end markets. Our entry into
the precision metal components market began in 2006 with the acquisition of
Whirlaway Corporation. We dramatically expanded the segment in 2014 with the
acquisitions of Autocam and V-S. These acquisitions furthered our strategy to
diversify our end markets and build upon our core manufacturing competency of
high-precision metal machining.
Our research and development and product engineering efforts focus on enhancing
our existing products and developing patented products, particularly in the
medical industry, that can be presented to and sold by our customers. Our Precision
Engineered Products Group has developed a portfolio of patented medical products
that we manufacture for customers and that are sold under their brand. Our Autocam
Precision Products Group engineering team focuses on lowering the cost of manufacturing
existing products and developing engineered solutions to improve our customers’
products. Our Precision Bearing Components Group operates two innovation centers,
one in the Netherlands for rollers and one in Italy for balls, which focuses
on improving the performance of the rolling element, operating life and friction
generation and reducing manufacturing costs.
