Simatec is recognised globally for practical, high-performance maintenance solutions designed to support reliable bearing operation and reduced downtime across a wide range of industries. Founded in 1983, Simatec developed and popularised the compact, gas-driven, single-point automatic lubricator (Simalube), which became a very successful and recognisable product in that category. Alongside its wider maintenance portfolio, Simalube helped set the standard for compact  automatic lubrication. Supporting more consistent lubrication practices and helping maintenance teams protect critical assets.

Since then, the Simatec portfolio has expanded and now supports key stages of bearing maintenance. Simatec now offers safe, controlled heating tools for mounting components with their range of Simatherm induction heaters, and reliable bearing-fitting and handling tools with their Simatool fitting and removal tools.

The partnership strengthens ACORN’s maintenance equipment offer, improving access to Simatec’s mounting and dismounting equipment while providing customers with practical product guidance and responsive support. With improved availability and application-led advice, ACORN will help customers select the right tools to make maintenance simpler, safer, and more repeatable.

Product Manager for Lubricants, Sealing & Adhesives, Jay Goodgame, commented, “Becoming an authorised distributor for Simatec is a significant milestone in Acorn's drive for specialism. Simatec’s world-class innovations align perfectly with our commitment to improving reliability, efficiency, safety, and sustainability for our customers. This partnership strengthens our offering and allows us to deliver even greater value across a wide range of industries and applications.”

ACORN has made a substantial investment in the Simatec maintenance range, enabling Simatec products to be dispatched directly to customers from an authorised Simatec distributor in the UK.  Thanks to their strong stockholding, knowledgeable product specialists and extensive experience in supplying bearings, power transmission, linear systems, and maintenance equipment, ACORN can support customers across every industry with practical application guidance, responsive service, and dependable supply.
