One company, three reconciling structures — the management org, the operating segments, and the legal entities behind every transaction.
A roll-up is never one clean tree. AB SKF is one company seen three ways — who reports to whom (org), which segment makes the bearings, seals & lubrication (segment), and which legal entity books it (entity). They only reconcile through the site, which is why the same business shows up as a segment here, a leader there, and a data-grain gap on the map.
Pick a segment (e.g. Bearing Solutions) or an operating brand (e.g. SKF Lincoln) to see the sites underneath and how much of the money is site-grain actual vs SAP-allocated.
50% is site-grain actual; the rest is SAP-allocated from area/region postings while the S/4 cutover completes — shown as an estimate, reconciled to the area total.

Chair → President & CEO → segment & region presidents + corporate functions. The Bearing Solutions, SIS and Automotive segments all run through the President & CEO.
Each segment also books revenue through legal entities; the colour rail is its segment, the badge its integration state.
The master brand since 1907 (Sven Wingquist's self-aligning ball bearing) — '~20% of global energy is spent overcoming friction; SKF fights friction.'
Regional bearing brand (trademark MSEK 209).
Value-segment bearings (trademark MSEK 197) — the answer to C&U / LYC / ZWZ at the value end.
Slewing & thin-section bearings (trademark MSEK 588); US aerospace-related trademarks partially divested 2025.
@ptitude Observer, IMx online systems, Enlight apps & Axios (with AWS) — the connected-services layer behind REP contracts.
Split-roller bearings (acquired 2020) — marine, energy & heavy-industry niche.
Lubrication flagship (trademark book value MSEK 1,212) — the core of Lubrication Lifetime Solutions.
Lubrication equipment brand alongside Lincoln; John Sample Group (Australia) added 2024.
Double Separation Technology for circular industrial oil — scaling from pilot to plant-scale.
The Automotive spin-off brand (named 26 Feb 2026: vertere + evo) — stand-alone since Jan 2026; Nasdaq Stockholm listing planned Q4 2026.
A single order is booked by a legal entity, sold under a segment, owned by a segment president, and delivered from a site in a region. Entity resolution keeps them tied.
Entity resolution maps each site/segment/entity code to one node, so a number can roll up by any lens — by leader, by segment, by region — and still tie to the same total. Where a unit still books at region level (the Vertevo cutover), the site and segment figures are SAP-allocated and flagged, not invented.
