Ransome & Marles Bearing Company Limited was a British company which made ball bearings and roller bearings. It was founded during the First World War to make bearings for aircraft and other engines. Before the war most bearings had been imported, chiefly from Germany.
The business is now part of NSK UK, but Ransome & Marles' former plant, Stanley Works, remains in operation on Northern Road, Newark in Nottinghamshire.
