Ningbo is the important bearing production & export base in China, bearings produced in Ningbo as one key export oriented products have won good reputation at the excellent quality in the whole world. However, some bearing enterprises in Ningbo often withstand the anti-dumping investigations and other trade barriers due to the lacking of independent intellectual property rights, single brand products structure, meanwhile part of products still in the low-cost competition.
