Timken operates technology centers around the world dedicated to developing innovative concepts and products that help you operate more efficiently. Our technical leadership and customer support reach far beyond our products. Timken customers have access to sales and service engineering support at their plants and options for additional support from application engineers who specialize in the metals industry. CORE CAPABILITIES Timken has evolved from its early roots as a bearing producer to a supplier offering much more, including frictionmanagement and power-transmission solutions that add value throughout the complete life cycle of a system. Our material enhancements improve bearing life and can protect against debris and corrosion – two common challenges in processing metals. Our precision manufacturing capabilities and commitment to quality ensure global consistency in design and manufacturing at every Timken facility. A global distribution network provides our customers with easy access to Timken products and services throughout the world. We leverage these core capabilities as we work with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and designers to integrate our technologies into equipment so that end users can enjoy the performance benefits of Timken products from the first day of operation. OEMs depend on Timken for our engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities and emphasis on reliable performance.
