1960s: Pacific Bearing? began as a company called Prodo Mach Corporation, Inc. in 1962. That same year, Prodo Mach purchased the assets of the Precision Machine Shop, which was also located in Rockford, Illinois. The following year, Prodo Mach Corporation merged with Premac, Inc., which became its new name.

1980s: Pacific Bearing Company was founded by CEO Robert Schroeder in 1983, created primarily as the sales company for Premac, Inc. That same year, Pacific Bearing was officially incorporated and later merged with Premac, Inc., becoming one company under the Pacific Bearing name. During the 1980s, Pacific Bearing transitioned from a metalworking shop to a bearing manufacturer. This focus led to the invention of the first self-lubricating plain bearing (Simplicity?).

2000s: Pacific Bearing continued to increase its linear bearing product line, and in 2008, launched a new company name, PBC Linear, to better reflect their business model.
