Bearing Man, a bearing shop, opened in Durban (1974) and gradually expanded its service and product offerings to include so much more than just bearings - a range of the finest, globally recognised brands. The company grew to over 100 branches in South Africa, acquired Fenner Power Transmission distribution 1998, Invicta Bearings in 2000, Springset in 2004 and then Oscillating Systems technology in 2005.

Expansion into Africa continued, with branches opening in Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique. In 2006 this powerful force in the engineering industry became a wholly owned subsidiary of Humulani, a company controlled by Invicta Holdings and, in 2007, concluded a ground-breaking BEE deal.

The group of brands did more than excel over time… They flourished! So did staff loyalty to the Bearing Man brand. Their strong company spirit made it one of the most exciting places to work.

BMG, its management and all its employees undertake to conduct our business with honesty and integrity and with the highest standard of personal and corporate ethics. This includes the promotion, enhancement, development and protection of our business interests, our reputation, our goodwill, and our commitment to all our stakeholders. We as management will ensure compliance with the Ethics Charter, the Company’s Code of Conduct and Business Practices and all laws and regulations which are applicable. This Ethics Charter will apply to all levels of staff and employees who are required to act in the best interests of the Company at all times. We hereby pledge our unconditional support of the BMG Ethics Charter.

Since 2007, Black Empowerment partners have been invited to acquire a stake in Humulani Investments thereby ensuring BMG meets its BEE equity requirements. 20% of new ordinary shares in Humulani have been issued to aloeCap and 5% of new ordinary shares to the Staff Trust. This trust has been established in terms of the mandate given by BMG's shareholders for the benefit of black staff at BMG, as set out in the government's Broad Based BEE Codes of Good Practice. BMG management is committed to the development and implementation of an integrated BEE strategy that aligns with company goals across all levels of business. This includes employment equity, skills development, socioeconomic development and enterprise development.
