Background

About Manfred Foissner

At AVANTGARDE Bearing Technologies, I bring over 20 years of international experience in tribology and plain bearing technology — with a focus on developing customized, application-specific bearing solutions for OEMs and machinery builders. Drawing from extensive practical field expertise in production and maintenance, combined with leadership roles at some of the world’s leading bearing manufacturers, I combine deep technical know-how with agile manufacturing partnerships to deliver performance where catalogue products often fail. Our approach is simple: fast decision-making, direct engineering support, and no unnecessary overhead — enabling our partners to move quickly from concept to solution. I work closely with R&D teams and project managers to optimize bearing materials, geometries, and system integration, always aiming to maximize reliability, extend maintenance cycles, and deliver lasting competitive advantages. Beyond products, my focus remains on building long-term partnerships based on technical excellence, reliability, and trust. Let’s engineer the next generation of performance together.
