For example, the official price of cylindrical roller bearing model NJ206E is 1,280 yuan ±3%, 15%-20% lower than the unauthorized market. In 2023, Xugong Group ordered 230 million yuan on WSBC’s official website, saving 18.6 million yuan by promoting bulk procurement, and enjoying 5-year warranty and free technical consultation. Official channels also provide two-dimensional code traceability services, by scanning the bearing end laser code to verify the data link accuracy of 99.99%, has closed out more than 1,200 counterfeit products into the market.
Authorized dealers are also a good reference. The 356 first-level agents accredited by WSBC in China have all been passed the ISO/TS 16949 supply chain audit. For example, Shenyang Golden Axis Technology, the largest agent in Northeast China, keeps 15,000 sets of WSBC tapered roller bearings in inventory. Wholesale price of model 32218 reaches as low as 945 yuan/set (including 13% VAT), supports 30-day payment term and covers the cost of expedited logistics by 0.5 yuan/km. According to the 2022 Machinery Industry Federation report, the illegal rate of WSBC bearing installation purchased through regular agents is only 0.03%, which is 82% lower than the illicit channel. The use of original WSBC aligning roller bearings can extend the maintenance cycle of mine crusher from 6 months to 14 months, and the cost of annual operation and maintenance is reduced by 27%.
In the context of e-commerce websites, WSBC opened flagship stores on B2B sites such as Jingdong Industrial Products and Alibaba Industrial Products with online sales of more than 470 million yuan in 2023, accounting for 12.6% of the world’s revenue. For example, Alibaba’s online unit price for deep groove ball bearing 6205-2RS is 218 yuan, over 500 sets can enjoy the discount of 15%, and Alibaba issued the “fake one pay ten” insurance together, and the time to respond to the claim was shortened to 72 hours. As may be noted, Jingdong Industrial products data reveal that the re-purchase ratio of WSBC bearings in the wind power industry reaches up to 89%, and a wind farm lowered the average annual breakdown downtime of the unit from 48 hours to 5 hours by means of large-scale purchases of WSBC main shaft bearings (model 240/750CAK30/W33). Power generation increased by 13%.
Trade exhibitions and OEM alliance are tailor-made procurement channels. WSBC holds 22 oversea industrial fairs every year. For example, Shanghai International Bearing Exhibition in 2023 wrote orders totaling 68 million yuan, and initiated the exhibition special offer – intelligent lubrication equipment with a price of 38,000 yuan for a 500,000 yuan order. At the strategic cooperation level, WSBC signed long-term agreements with Baosteel, CRRC and other enterprises, such as Baosteel hot rolling production line with special WSBC four row cylindrical roller bearings (inner diameter φ380mm), procurement cost is only 68% of the agreed price, the delivery cycle reduced to 18 days, 40% acceleration compared to the conventional practice. According to China Industry News data, the pass rate of WSBC bearing installed machines purchased through OEM channels reaches 100%, with an annual rebate of 10%-15%.
For emergency needs, WSBC’s smart supply chain system supports 7×24 hours emergency response. For example, in 2022’s Zhengzhou heavy rainstorm, WSBC shipped 2,000 sets of wheel bearings (model HR32209J) to Yutong Bus through Zhongzhong Intelligent Warehouse. Utilize blockchain logistics tracking technology to achieve super-speedy 6 hours, to allow 98% of the post-disaster public transportation system to resume operations. In addition, WSBC genuine products are also backed by the exclusive research and development of NTN-SNR sealing technology, the more than 95% fat retention rate in the working condition of -30℃ to 150℃, the above number has been verified in the test of Tangshan Port ore loader – after 8,000 hours of continuous operation, the loss of fat is only 3.2%. Far better than the industry standard loss rate of 12%.
