: The Company
History

Bearmach was founded in 1958, the name being derived from the two words BEARing and MACHinery.

Since its inception The Company has specialised exclusively in the supply of Land Rover parts.

We have no other business distractions, consequently we are totally focused on supplying you the customer with Land Rover parts.

Bearmach, as the largest independent supplier of Land Rover spares, has been a useful addition to the factory supplied parts.

Over many years and throughout the various changes of ownership that Land Rover has endured (The Rover Co. – British Leyland – BLMC – British Aerospace – BMW – Ford) Bearmach have steadfastly kept Land Rovers running around the world, whatever the supply situation at the factory.

Bearmach was able to supply parts to those areas inaccessible or neglected by the factory. Even long after the factory had lost interest in the older vehicles, Bearmach is still keeping vehicles in operation which would otherwise have been condemned to the scrap yard.

Bearmach's aggressive pricing policy has also ensured that today all Land Rover owners pay less for their parts. The cheap and plentiful supply of spares is a key selling point when choosing Land Rover over many other 4x4s.

The low cost of spares has made viable the maintenance of the older vehicles, contributing to the legend of longevity associated with the marque.

Bearmach has not been "simply" a supplier of parts. We have been innovative in changing the manufacturing processes and in the use of superior materials which enhance the performance and longevity of the vehicles. Some of these items are described in the section of the web page marked "Quality First".

In 1978 Bearmach embarked on a program of accessory development that would ensure the "Work Horse" become a desirable Leisure Vehicle. In 1980 and 1981 Bearmach constructed, from the chassis up, the most advanced Land Rover prototype. This vehicle was subsequently exhibited at the Frankfurt and Birmingham Motor Shows. It was built with a specification so far ahead that ideas from this concept are still being copied today. The vehicle had a turbocharged engine, vacuum operated overdrive, polyurethane bushes, integrated winch, bumper with spot light, rear spare wheel carrier, roll bar, fast back hood and many more features.

During the 1980s and 90s Bearmach moved its attention to the Range Rover. Bearmach was first to offer anti-roll bars, heavy duty springs, polyurethane bushes, side mouldings, interior wood kits and many other accessories that enhanced the Range Rover, and have been copied by the factory and the after-market ever since.

Our motto of "Often copied but never bettered" still applies to all the accessories being developed for today’s vehicles.
