Yep Contitech kits have SKF bearings.

Just done Estate cam belt with Contitech kit - the kit I took out was a Contitech one I fitted 40K miles ago - apart from the belt being a little "harder" than the new there was no appreciable wear on belt or bearings.

Who?
Believe they are aftermarket manufacturers so wouldn't trust such a critical component to non OEM manufacturer!

I've supplied and fitted quite a few and have always used Contitech, there are cheaper kits out there but the Contitech is quality ;)
