About Us - Godiva Bearings
Founded in 1977, Godiva Bearings has grown into one of the UK’s leading bearing trade specialists. We began by focusing on the niche markets of needle roller bearings, rod ends, and spherical plain bearings. As our reputation grew, so did our product range. Key partnerships followed, including the addition of the FAG range of ball and roller bearings and our exclusive position as the sole UK agent for Nachi. Today, we offer an extensive portfolio that truly makes us a one-stop shop for the bearing trade.

We Only Supply the Trade
Unlike many other suppliers, Godiva Bearings does not sell to OEMs or end users. Our business is built entirely around supporting our bearing trade partners. When we receive direct enquiries from end users, we refer them back to the trade — never competing with our customers, but helping them grow.
