Company Founder Henry Timken, said “If you have an idea which you think is right, push it to a finish. But above all, don’t set your name to anything you will ever have cause to be ashamed of.” We take that to heart, to the extent that ethics, honesty and respect are upheld as the most important considerations in the business decisions we make.

Quality is the cornerstone of Timken's brand promise to customers, and a basic requirement of global competitiveness. Our associates are deeply ingrained in quality processes to ensure that customers receive consistent, excellent quality in all Timken products and services everywhere in the world.

Timken is focused on continuously advancing energy-efficient, durable performance in virtually every kind of machinery. From aircraft, to trains, to wind turbines, we develop innovative solutions with customers to help their applications run smoothly, safely and efficiently, which also makes the world a better place.

Because we believe independence fosters the greatest potential for creativity and growth, Timken is managed to retain financial independence. In turn, our associates directly contribute and share rewards for the improvements we achieve to benefit our customers and other stakeholders.
