Tk accelis, formerly thyssenkrupp Materials Services, has signed a new ten-year long-term agreement with Swedish bearings producer SKF, Kallanish learns.
Under the agreement, its supply chain solutions segment will manage the supply of steel bar materials supporting SKF’s manufacturing operations across France and the UK.
The contract forms part of the distribution group’s global control tower offering. Designed to help manufacturers navigate increasingly complex global supply chains, tk accelis explains says it provides end-to-end transparency, predictive planning and proactive risk management.
“This long-term agreement with tk accelis Supply Chain Solutions represents an important step in supporting our continued growth across France and the UK,” says Ivan Bourgeois, SKF Aerospace’s purchasing manager for Europe.
The two companies have a long-standing partnership. In late 2024, thyssenkrupp Aerospace and SKF signed a two-year contract extension for the supply of steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminium and copper to SKF’s facility in Lons le Saunier, France.
