Over 115 Years of Engineering Experience –
Built on Partnership, Proven in Practice

WORKING ALONGSIDE OUR CUSTOMERS TO SOLVE REAL-WORLD
PROBLEMS WITH PRACTICAL, RELIABLE SOLUTIONS

CASE STUDY:

SOLVING WHAT OTHERS COULDN’T

When a long-term customer faced recurring roller failures while utilizing competitive bearings, the root cause wasn’t obvious. Multiple variables, from crimp quality to bearing alignment, made the issue difficult to isolate.

Our engineering team partnered closely with the customer, evaluating samples, testing new configurations,
and reviewing assembly processes in detail. Through collaboration across engineering, QA, and production, we
identified key performance factors – particularly proper crimping, runout control, and bearing selection.

THE RESULT? A more stable, longer-lasting roller solution that improved performance and reduced failures.

Their team worked alongside ours to troubleshoot and refine
the solution.

Their responsiveness and willingness to help, whenever needed, make them a partner we trust.

A PARTNER YOU CAN RELY ON

When timing matters and challenges come up, having the right partner makes all the difference.

FRANTZ consistently supports our team with responsiveness, flexibility, and a willingness to step in when
it counts. Whether it’s during a critical phase of a project or outside of normal hours, their team stays engaged and ready to help keep things moving.

That level of collaboration and commitment is what sets them apart – and why we continue to rely on them as a trusted partner.

We start by understanding the application, then build
the right solution around it.

ENGINEERING THAT STARTS
WITH UNDERSTANDING

Every application brings a different set of demands. Load, speed, environment, and performance expectations all play a role in getting it right.

Our process starts by working closely with both our internal team and our customers to understand the application fully.

From there, we evaluate key factors like load ratings, lubrication, environmental conditions, and system design to
recommend the right bearing or wheel for the job.

When a standard solution isn’t the right fit, our team takes it a step further by evaluating feasibility, developing new designs, and supporting the tooling needed to bring a custom solution to life.

Across industries, from high-speed conveyors to temperature-sensitive environments and heavy-duty applications, we follow the same approach: we collaborate, evaluate, and deliver a solution that performs in the real world.

We’re not just building solutions, we’re helping
build future engineers.

INVESTED IN THE NEXT
GENERATION

Engineering doesn’t stop at our facility. It extends into the communities we’re part of.

Our team actively works with local schools to support robotics programs, mentor students, and provide
opportunities to see engineering in action. By opening our doors for tours and sharing real-world applications, we help students connect what they’re learning in the classroom to how things are designed and built.

Whether it’s answering questions, offering guidance, or simply showing what a career in engineering can look like, our team is committed to helping the next generation explore what’s possible.
