Precision bearing manufacturer for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets
RBC Bearings manufactures highly engineered bearings for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers, with a stack anchored on SAP, SolidWorks, and legacy AS/400 systems. The company is mid-migration to SAP S/4HANA while maintaining AS/400 integration—a common pattern in capital-intensive manufacturing where legacy ERP rip-and-replace carries high operational risk. Manufacturing dominates the hiring mix (144 roles), but engineering (57) and sales (38) are also actively scaling, signaling simultaneous pushes on product capability, throughput, and market coverage.
RBC Bearings is a public manufacturer of precision bearings across plain, roller, and ball categories, serving global aerospace, defense, industrial, construction, and mining sectors. The company operates 1,001–5,000 employees across the United States and Poland, with engineering and design depth enabling entry into regulated, high-complexity markets that require AS9100 compliance. Core operational priorities include reducing lead time and cost of poor quality, improving on-time delivery, and maintaining equipment utilization—challenges typical of a business scaling manufacturing capacity while managing legacy process documentation and systems integration.
