Founded in 2019 in Brazil, VICAN was created with a clear mission: to develop and commercialize premium products that deliver exceptional quality, durability, and performance for demanding applications.
Our journey began in the sport fishing market, where we started producing and commercializing high-performance ceramic bearings for spinning reels and baitcasting reels. These components significantly improved smoothness, efficiency, and overall equipment performance. Through consistent results and customer trust, VICAN quickly became a reference in this segment.
As we grew, we expanded beyond fishing by listening closely to our customers and understanding the specific needs of each application. This approach allowed VICAN to serve a wide range of markets and projects where precision, reliability, and performance are essential.
Industries and applications we serve
• Sport fishing equipment
• Industrial applications
• Agribusiness and agricultural machinery
• Medical and dental equipment
• Wheeled sports (bicycles, skateboards, inline skates)
• Competition applications (karting, competition race cars and prototypes)
• STEM Racing cars (formerly F1 in Schools and other competitive scale modeling platforms)
• Prototypes and other experimental projects
• Remote Control Cars (RC cars) and other high-performance hobby applications
VICAN is a recognized reference in supplying high-performance bearings for STEM Racing applications. Since 2021, VICAN bearings have been used in some of the fastest STEM Racing projects, where minimal friction, consistency, and precision directly impact results.
Guided by a philosophy of continuous improvement, VICAN enhances its products year after year, refining materials, tolerances, and manufacturing processes to achieve measurable performance gains and consistently better results.
Today, VICAN operates through a network of five homologated manufacturing facilities, carefully selected and audited to meet our technical and quality standards. Our manufacturing partners comply with recognized quality certifications and all required documentation, ensuring traceability, consistency, and reliability in every product delivered.
Quality is ensured at every component level, from raw materials to final inspection. Each bearing is designed, tested, and validated according to its specific application, guaranteeing long-term reliability, durability, and performance.
VICAN manufactures and supplies a complete range of bearing types, serving all industry sectors and applications. We are specialists in understanding and supporting small, medium, and large companies, offering technical guidance, project analysis, and customized solutions tailored to each customer’s requirements.
This evolution allowed VICAN to reach a high level of excellence in Brazil and naturally led us to expand internationally. We are now based in Ohio, United States, operating as a fully digital e-commerce company, focused on efficiency, responsive service, and total customer satisfaction.
From our U.S. operations, VICAN supplies bearings across North America and to all continents worldwide, serving both businesses and end consumers with reliable logistics and technical support.
While bearings remain our core expertise, VICAN also develops high-performance fishing accessories, including carbon drag washers designed to improve drag smoothness and braking power in reels.
More than a product supplier, VICAN delivers bearing solutions. Every project has unique requirements and performance starts with understanding before delivering.
Today, VICAN continues to grow and proudly ships products to more than 50 countries across all continents, maintaining the same commitment that guided us from day one: precision, quality, and reliability without compromise
