Zhou's Enterprises (website), a South Africa-based importer and distributor of bearings, seals, and power transmission components, announced it is adding Nachi bearings to its product lineup.

The move is significant because Zhou's was set up Zhou Xiyu in 1993 and exists today primarily to sell DYZV brand bearings, as a division of China's Dalian Metallurgical Bearings Group Corp.

Zhou's has six locations across South Africa in Cape Town, Durban, George, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. In addition, the company has distributors in several other African nations. Zhou's sells and services bearings for both distributors and end users.

Prior to adding Nachi, Zhou's carried primarily DYZV brand bearings manufactured in China, FK rod end bearings and NAK seals. The company also offers a lineup of power transmission components such as chains, sprockets, pulleys, and others.
