At GMN, we invest in the future of engineering.

Of the many things we do here at GMN Bearing USA that make us proud, one is supporting the Society of Automotive Engineers’ collegiate Baja competition.

This program, hosted by SAE International, challenges engineering students to design & build a single-seat, all-terrain sporting vehicle that can withstand the harshest conditions.

Throughout a yearlong, three-part competition, participating young men and women across the U.S. vie for top honors in a variety of challenges, from vehicle design, acceleration, sled pull, maneuverability, and more.

GMN Bearing USA is a proud sponsor of several motorsports teams, offering our precision sprag clutches for use in their 4WD systems.
