Aktiebolaget SKF announced it has signed an agreement to acquire G-Tech Instruments Inc., a specialist in condition monitoring and measuring instruments technology, in a move aimed at expanding its digitally enabled reliability solutions and strengthening its service business.
The Sweden-based engineering company said the acquisition supports its strategy to grow through targeted bolt-on mergers and acquisitions while deepening its presence in end-user and aftermarket services. By adding G-Tech’s technology to its portfolio, SKF expects to expand its ability to help industrial customers detect equipment issues early, plan proactive maintenance, and improve machinery performance, uptime, and total cost of ownership.
G-Tech’s diagnostic tools and vibration analysis technologies complement SKF’s existing condition monitoring portfolio, one of three priority areas within the company’s service division. The integration is intended to help create a unified ecosystem of monitoring solutions that enables customers to identify problems before failures occur.
The companies also see the deal as a way to accelerate innovation in predictive maintenance. G-Tech’s technology and intellectual property are expected to support SKF’s future product development while expanding its capabilities in industrial diagnostics.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Taiwan, G-Tech has developed vibration analyzers, diagnostic tools, and condition monitoring systems used across several industries. The company currently supplies SKF and employs about 50 people.
G-Tech reported approximately $10 million in sales in 2025 with strong margins. The company also maintains an established presence in Asia, which SKF said could help unlock additional growth opportunities in the region.
The acquisition is expected to close within six months, subject to customary conditions.
