R&V Bearings Supplies CC has been at the forefront of the bearing industry since 1989. R&V Bearings Supplies CC was established by the late Godfrey Willie in 1989. He was an ambitious worker, working in the bearing industry for a successful bearing company. He was not just a driven, hard worker but he was also a goal-orientated, passionate individual whom started R&V Bearings due to being demoted by his employer. Employees were being demoted and Mr. Willie was resistant to be demoted. This resulted in him taking a risk and starting off his own business as a sole proprietor at the age of 57. He was eager and resourceful, saw a great opportunity and took his bad situation and turned it into a success. R&V Bearing was registered in 1989 and officially opened in 1991 in Cape Town. They started trading in a small premise in Voortrekker road, Parow. Currently R&V Bearings is trading at a new premise which is also in Voortrekker road, Parow. Customer loyalty and demand for exclusive quality products have led to the expansion of R&V bearings opening a branch in Johannesburg in 1991, both distributions are enduring significant growth in market share. The company envisage further growth nationally and internationally. "We opted to open a branch in Johannesburg to service the Gauteng market and it's pleasing that our Cape Town, Johannesburg and Paarl branch is continuing to see considerable growth in the market." Our Paarl branch was opened on the 15 April 2019, R&V Bearing took over Bearing Tech as is currently trading as R&V Bearing Supplies Paarl. The success of R&V Bearings acquired long hours of working & managing, meetings, importing & exporting, facing competitors and tough situations and even travelling and meeting suppliers world-wide. With all the ups and downs Godfrey Willie continued to make R&V Bearings a success being one of the leading companies in the bearing industry. Among the biggest challenges, Godfrey Willie needed capital, having in mind that R&V bearings is an imports and exports distributors. This capital was supplied to Mr. Willie by two silent investors. These investors helped Mr. Willie by contributing to the financial success of R&V Bearings giving the condition that the company was named after them, “Robert and Verney” (R&V).
