The company produces stern tube bearings, intermediate bearings, crosshead bearings, and bearings for large engines and turbines.

Maritime and industrial lubricants
Alloy Bearings distributes Royal Purple industrial lubricants in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Popular lubricants for the marine sector include marine hydraulic oil, which meets the US Fish & Wildlife Department’s and EPA’s toxicity test requirements for marine life, and wire rope lubricant, which is valued by ship and port operators for its exceptional penetration and anti-corrosion properties.
Marine engine and generator overhauls
Associated business AB Industries carries out engine and generator rebuilds for the marine sector. They also supply new and used engines, generators and related components.
Past projects include reconditioning large marine engine components, and the overhaul and commissioning of Caterpillar marine engines, including the D399 V16, 3516 V16, and 3400 series. We have also provided these services for auxiliary generators, refrigeration compressors, overhauling fire pumps, and ancillary equipment for naval vessels.
