SKF recently hosted the annual SKF Distributor Convention in the Drakensberg, where an awards evening was held to honour authorised distributors, lubrication distributors and the SKF branch network for outstanding performances over 2009.

SKF Roodepoort, now part of Citi Bearings & Seals, won awards for both the Industrial Aftermarket Distributor of the Year and the Industrial Aftermarket Platform Distributor of the Year, the latter being based on sales volumes for non-bearing SKF technologies.
