The acquisition is subject to the approval of the Norwegian Competition Authority. SKF had previously 50% of the company through its subsidiary DEI, Aberdeen, Scotland, that SKF aquired in 1999. RC DEI has a turnover of approximately 12 MNOK and is located outside Stavanger, Norway.

The RC DEI business mainly consists of services for condition based maintenance principally servicing the oil and gas industry on the continental shelf of the North Sea.

"This acquisition is a further step in strengthening SKF's position in the oil and gas industry," said Phil Knights, President of the Service Division. "This field service organization along with its former parent company DEI and the rest of SKF reliability systems resources can provide the full array of reliability services to the North Sea oil industry. This field service operation will also support our role in the collaboration with Statoil. The oil and gas industry is also a key market for SKF portable monitoring equipment. Today SKF is a global leader in developing and supplying intrinsically safe instrumentation for the oil and gas industry.''
