Timken (China) Investment Co., Ltd.

In the field of tapered roller bearings, Timken helps improve the operational efficiency and reliability of equipment, machinery and vehicles around the world with deep knowledge in metallurgy, tribology and mechanical power transmission. To this day, Mr. Henry Timken's corporate vision to make the world operate more efficiently and reliably remains at the heart of Timken's business. In the 1890s, Henry Timken, a carriage manufacturer in St. Louis, Missouri, found that heavy carriages were often difficult for sharp turns. To solve this problem, he adopted a tapered roller bearing design that can withstand radial (weight) and axial (lateral reaction) loads. The results of this application are very exciting and bring many benefits to customers. First, this application can make the carriage run smoother and reduce repair and replacement costs. In some cases, bearings can also improve the performance of the carriage, thereby reducing the number of mules and horses used. More importantly, smoother turns reduce the chance of losing goods. Henry Timken always considers the interests of the customer and soon discovered that tapered roller bearings can also improve equipment performance in many other applications. Henry Timken and his two sons HH Timken and William Timken founded the Timken Roller Bearings and Axles Company in 1899, laying the foundation for today's global enterprise that drives the world. Timken has helped customers continue to succeed over the years with a clear corporate vision, industry focus, advanced processes and global expansion. From 1899 to the present, Timken has continuously promoted global industrial development. Henry Timken's patent for tapered roller bearings is the basis for Timken's development. Since 1899, Timken has greatly expanded its product portfolio through innovation and acquisitions, while gaining a high reputation by solving the harsh problems of the earth and even space. In the 1950s, automated mass bearing production had reached new speeds, pushing Timken's production capacity and profits to a new level, but Timken never stopped improving. In 2014, Timken introduced the DeltaX program, a major investment aimed at accelerating product development and expanding its product line. As early as the early 20th century, Timken entered the overseas market through a licensing agreement signed in the UK, and then achieved large-scale overseas expansion in the 1960s and decades later. Today, Timken serves customers and markets around the world through a global network. Timken in China Timken entered the Chinese market in 1992. In China, Timken has not only established a strong business team, but also invested in the construction of a manufacturing base with world-wide production or service capabilities. Currently in Greater China, Timken has more than 3,600 employees, has 14 offices at all levels in major cities across the country, and has established 5 bearing manufacturing bases, 3 power transmission product manufacturing bases, and 1 training center and multiple logistics, engineering technology and value-added industrial service centers to meet the needs of global customers, especially Chinese customers.
