RHP Bearings was founded in 1969, but its history dates back over 100 years due to the merger of three well-known bearing manufacturers: Ransome & Marles, Hoffman, and Pollard.

  • Ransome & Marles (founded in 1900 in Newark) established itself as a leading global producer of ball and roller bearings.
  • Hoffman Bearings (founded in 1898 in Chelmsford) rapidly developed and gained a reputation for manufacturing precision bearings.
  • Pollard Bearings (founded in 1919 in Ferringbridge) was known for inventing the self-locking nut.

In 1990, NSK gained full control over RHP, creating the company NSK-RHP Ltd, which later became known as NSK (Europe) Ltd.
