WYCH BEARINGS LIMITED

What WYCH BEARINGS LIMITED does

Wych Bearings Limited is a UK-based, privately-held industrial distributor founded in 1980, operating from a single site at Aston Fields Industrial Estate in Bromsgrove. The company sells bearings, power transmission components, lubricants, adhesives, and engineering products through its e-commerce platform WychBearings.co.uk, supplemented by phone-based technical sales support. It holds over £10 million of inventory across more than 20,000 SKUs and serves both B2B industrial customers (manufacturers requiring bearings for gearboxes, motors, pumps, and transmission systems) and B2C end users (cycling enthusiasts, home mechanics, classic vehicle restorers).

The product portfolio is structured around core bearing categories — deep groove ball bearings, miniature bearings, bike bearings, housed bearings, tapered roller bearings, needle roller bearings, cylindrical and spherical roller bearings, rod end bearings, thrust bearings, angular contact bearings, linear bearings, plastic bearings, and high-temperature bearings — augmented by complementary power transmission products (roller chain and sprockets, belts and pulleys, couplings, taper bushes), lubrication products from leading brands (SKF, Castrol, Shell, BP, Mobil, WD40, Kluber, Rocol, Total), and Loctite adhesives. The company operates as an authorised reseller for tier-one OEM brands including SKF, FAG, INA, NSK-RHP, Timken, Renold, and Enduro, alongside own-brand and budget alternatives.

Revenue is generated through one-time transactional unit sales at unit prices ranging from approximately £1.03 (axial needle roller washers) to £64.26 (high-temperature BECO bearings), with bulk order discounts available via phone. UK Mainland courier delivery is offered at £11.40 with next-day AM available, alongside worldwide delivery. The business is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no headcount disclosed, and no public financial reporting.
