Timken (TKR) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) is a global industrial technology leader specializing in engineered bearings and mechanical power transmission products. Founded in 1899 by Henry Timken in Canton, Ohio, the company built its reputation on the invention of the tapered roller bearing, which dramatically improved the efficiency and durability of railroad equipment. Today, Timken’s broad portfolio spans roller and ball bearings, gear drives, chain, couplings, belting and lubrication systems, all designed to optimize machinery performance and reliability.

Timken operates through two core segments: engineered bearings and power transmission. The bearings segment offers a wide range of cylindrical, spherical and needle roller bearings tailored for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, wind energy, mining and industrial machinery. The power transmission segment delivers gears, couplings, chain, belting and linear motion products, as well as complementary services such as condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and onsite technical support.

Throughout its history, Timken has expanded both organically and via strategic acquisitions to enhance its technology and geographic footprint. The company has invested heavily in advanced materials science, developing proprietary metallurgical processes that extend component life under extreme conditions. TimkenSteel, a former subsidiary, exemplified the company’s commitment to innovation in specialty alloy steels before being divested to focus on core engineered products.

Headquartered in North Canton, Ohio, Timken serves customers in more than 30 countries with a network of manufacturing plants, sales offices and distribution centers across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Richard G. Kyle, supported by a seasoned executive team and board of directors committed to driving sustainable growth through operational excellence, technological advancement and a strong aftermarket service organization.
