BRIEF HISTORY

The Tapered roller bearing was invented by Mr. Henry Timken in the 18th Century. Since then for over 100 years, The Timken Company has been a worldwide leader in Bearings and Specialty Steel. They are the third largest bearing manufacturer in the world claiming about 17% of the total global bearing market in 2004. The Timken Company keeps the world turning, with innovative ways to make stake holders products run smoother, faster and more efficiently. Timken’s highly engineered bearings, alloy steels and related products and services turn up everywhere – on land, on the seas and in space. Timken acquired the TORRINGTON brand of bearings from Ingersoll-Rand in 2002, and now has a larger range and selection. With combined operations in 27 countries, sales of $4.5 billion in 2004 and 26,000 employees, Timken is Where You Turn™ for better performance.

Timken offers a broad size range of bearings from one that is so small that it can be placed on the index finger (used in a dental drill which operates at about 30,000 rpm) to ones of six feet in diameter (used in heavy duty gear boxes which operates at ½ rpm). They weigh from half an ounce to nine tons. This shows the wide variety of different applications, which are specific to industries like Power, Cement, Oil Exploration, Mining, Steel, Aerospace and General Industries.

Timken bearings and components are completely interchangeable and consistent in quality regardless of where in the world they are manufactured or sold. 


"Multivista's customer-centric approach has aligned very well with that of ours and not surprisingly, has delivered sustainable business growth over past years. What is distinctive about Multivista is the commitment and involvement that its top management has shown in growing Timken business. Our heritage as world leaders is safe in their hands"
