Welcome to The Timken Company.  As a visitor to our Web site, I hope you’ll find the information you need about the products and services that have made our company Where You Turn for engineering expertise.  I also hope you’ll find a partner you can depend on, whether you’re drilling for oil in a remote corner of the earth, looking for a more efficient, greener way to power your machinery or seeking solutions to the challenges you face in your community.

Since our company’s founding in 1899, we have been dedicated to applying our knowledge of friction management and power transmission to improve our customers’ performance, making us a trusted business partner around the world.  We have measured our own performance not just by our own financial returns, but by the success of all our stakeholders – our customers, suppliers, associates and the communities where we live and work. 

For more than a century in business, we have certainly seen dramatic transformations in the world around us, and we have continued to adapt our business to the evolving needs of our customers.  Yet, no matter how much the company or the economic environment around us has changed, one thing has remained constant – our deep commitment to our core values.

These values – ethics & integrity, quality, innovation and independence – are a vital part of everything we do at Timken.  They define the way we interact with all of our stakeholders.  They shape the way we see the world, and they guide us as we make our way through changing times.

As you explore the global citizenship pages of our Web site, you will see a variety of programs we support to strengthen the communities where Timken has facilities.  You will see initiatives we have undertaken as a company to reduce our environmental footprint and develop sustainable technologies.  And you will see our enduring commitment to contribute to global economic growth and prosperity.

At the end of the day, we’re only as good as our good name.  Over 25,000 Timken associates stand behind that name.  We look forward to strengthening our partnership with communities around the world as we continue to reach new performance milestones in our business.
