Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Automotive — General
SKF Vertevo, the separated Automotive business of SKF, unveiled its new brand and digital presence through a new website, social media channels and a visual identity inspired by the world of racing. The company is planned to list on 1 December.
Why it matters
The launch establishes SKF Vertevo's identity as a stand-alone automotive company as the separation from SKF moves toward its planned listing. It marks a concrete step in the transition of the business into an independent entity.
The separation was initiated on 17 September 2024 and the shareholder meeting of AB SKF resolved share distribution on 1 October 2026. SKF Vertevo is planned to list on 1 December, with no listing price or valuation disclosed in the announcement.
