: The Company
Quality First

Quality in Management and Staff

BEARMACH has been ISO9002 registered since 1990. This has ensured that every body within The Company knows exactly what to do and, most importantly, cares about what they are doing.

Our stock is constantly rotated, rubber and other parts are marked with a shelf life expiry.

Preservation and protective packing is all done in house.

From the pre-packer who places the items in the box, to the labelling of the product in the correct manner with batch codes and part numbers, to the selector or packer, we try to ensure a consistent method of working.

Our "Land Rover" experienced sales staff who are our greatest asset have been with us for many years and are fully dedicated to resolving the customers needs.

We sincerely hope we fulfil all our customers’ expectations.

Quality in Design

We take note of original products with inherent faults. We then apply a different manufacturing process or modify the design to ensure that parts are more durable.

Here are just a few examples of Bearmach at work.

Take the petrol exhaust manifold for the Series 2/3. We invested heavily in Diesamatic pattern equipment which meant that the grey iron was injected rather than gravity cast. This ensured that the material was of even density throughout the casting. The cracking problem with the OE manifold was resolved.

Take the rear diff ball joint on most Range Rover and Discoveries. On our version the wear can be compensated for by a compression screw. This substantially extends the life of the unit.

Take the majority of our accessories, these are designed wherever possible for "No Drill" and "Easy Fit".

Quality in Material

Often by simply changing the material, as can be seen in the use of the correct grade of Polyurethane, the life of the original rubber items may be extended several times.

We offer many alternative parts in superior materials, such as the stainless braided brake hoses, Kevlar brake pads, Steel alloy steering tubes, special steel coil springs and other items which increase the vehicle life, and of more importance to the customer is the vehicle’s ability to be kept in the field of operation for longer periods by having less down time.

Quality Control

Inspection and Testing

These are actually two different processes. Firstly there is the measuring and comparing of parts against samples and drawings on a day to day basis. Hardness tests and material analysis also take place at this stage.

Secondly, in an ongoing basis, the products are placed in actual live situations. This is done by building each of the models from the chassis up. So far we have built two Series 3s, two Defenders, one Range Rover Classic, one Discovery, and one Freelander. Currently we are in the process of stripping and rebuilding the New Range Rover. This process may take between one and two years. Parts and accessories are fitted and dismounted, and the vehicle, once assembled, is run for several years with our parts.

The vehicle is the ideal test bench, where critical parts are taken off and checked during the life of the vehicle, and where new parts can be constantly evaluated for durability. Our vehicles are subjected to EXTREME conditions on and off-road to ensure that the products perform well and that they do not have an adverse effect on other components.

In the long run quality does have its cost, but we believe that this is far outweighed by the customers satisfaction and the expectation from the BEARMACH products.
