About The Timken Company

The Timken Company was founded in 1899 by Henry Timken in St. Louis, Missouri. The company was incorporated after Henry obtained a patent for his newest creation—the tapered roller bearing. In 1901, the company relocated to Canton, Ohio, to enter the automobile industry with their bearings. Timken entered international markets in the early 1900’s, after their bearings made a lasting impression in World War I, and established a heavy presence in Europe. The company continued expansion throughout the 1970’s and 80’s as they entered Japan, Italy, Korea, Singapore, and Venezuela. This trend continued through the 90’s as they entered markets in Spain, Hong Kong, and China. Timken was created to handle steel operations; it altered its corporate structure in 2014, separating the roller bearing part and steel manufacturing part of the business.
