: Timken (China) Investment Co., Ltd.

Address: Room 4008, Tower 1, Grand Gateway 365, No. 1 Hongqiao Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai

Company website: https://www.timken.com/zh-hans/

Company Overview

In the field of tapered roller bearings, Timken's deep knowledge of metallurgy, tribology and mechanical power transmission helps improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment, machinery and vehicles around the world. Today, Henry Timken's vision of making the world run more efficiently and reliably is at the heart of Timken's business. In the 1890s, Henry Timken, a carriage maker in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, discovered that heavy freight carriages often had difficulty turning sharp corners. To solve this problem, he used a tapered roller bearing design that could withstand radial (weight) and axial (side reaction) loads. The results of this application were very exciting and brought many benefits to customers. First, this application made the carriage run smoother, reducing repair and replacement costs. In some cases, the bearings also improved the performance of the carriage, thereby reducing the number of mules and horses used. More importantly, smoother turns reduced the chance of lost goods. Henry Timken always had the interests of the customer in mind, and soon discovered that there were many other applications where tapered roller bearings could also improve equipment performance. Henry Timken and his two sons, HH Timken and William Timken, founded Timken Roller Bearing & Axle Company in 1899, laying the foundation for the global enterprise that keeps the world turning. Over the years, Timken has helped customers succeed with a clear corporate vision, industry focus, advanced processes and global expansion. From 1899 to today, Timken has continued to drive global industry. Henry Timken's patent for tapered roller bearings is the foundation on which Timken has been built. Since 1899, Timken has significantly expanded its product portfolio through innovation and acquisitions, while earning a high reputation by solving tough problems on Earth and in space. In the 1950s, automated high-volume bearing production had reached new speeds, driving Timken's production and profits to new levels, but Timken never stopped improving. In 2014, Timken introduced the DeltaX program, a major investment to accelerate product development and expand product lines. As early as the beginning of the 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 the following decades. 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 manufacturing bases with global production or service capabilities. Currently in Greater China, Timken has more than 3,600 employees, 14 offices at all levels in major cities across the country, and has established 5 bearing manufacturing bases and 3 power transmission product manufacturing bases, 1 training center and multiple logistics, engineering technology and value-added industrial service centers to meet the needs of global customers, especially Chinese customers.
