Moving the world forward.
At The Timken Company, we take an active role in shaping the world around us. We make renewable energy sources more reliable and competitive, practice environmental responsibility through our operations and sustain our communities through countless volunteer hours. In each and every instance, the people of Timken work tirelessly to fulfill our responsibility toward our investors, customers, local communities and each other.
Our commitment to social responsibility extends back to our founder Henry Timken. He foresaw that solving the problem of friction in moving objects “fundamentally would achieve something of real value to the world,” leading to the patent of the Timken® tapered roller bearing.

By design, our power-dense bearings reduce energy consumption, while significantly increasing the efficiency of industry and transportation. In our own operations, we annually transform the equivalent of more than a million junk cars into some of the cleanest, strongest steel on Earth. This steel then strengthens our customers’ machinery. It also forms the basis for our friction management and power transmission products, which empower the world to move faster, safer and more efficiently.
Doing the right thing extends well beyond creating value for our customers and shareholders. Our core values and rich tradition of community support are essential elements of the Timken brand. The personal and shared commitment of 20,000 Timken people improves the communities where we live, work and do business.
