Auburn Ball Bearing and Fairport Products Consolidating Under One Company Name

Fairport Products purchased the Auburn Ball Bearing product line from M. D. Knowlton Company in August of 2006. Since that time the companies have been known as two separate entities – Fairport Products and Auburn Ball Bearing. Now the two will become one company known as Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing. The business product offering, services, location and employees remain the same; only the name is changing. Owner Peter Schroth comments, "We have developed a solid reputation in both the ball bearing and machining industries under each entity, but felt that the updated name fully reflects the capabilities of our business as a whole."
