Timken India Limited, a leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion products, has marked a significant milestone with the inauguration of its expanded manufacturing facility in Bharuch, Gujarat. Andreas Roellgen, Executive Vice President and President of Engineered Bearings, and Sanjay Koul, President—India and South-East Asia and Chairman—Timken India Ltd., joined other senior officials, key customers, and suppliers to commemorate the event.
"This is an exciting time for Timken," said Roellgen. "As we continue to accelerate profitable growth in attractive markets with innovative products, the expansion of our world-class manufacturing facility in Bharuch will enhance the value and service we deliver to customers both in the region and globally."
Situated adjacent to Timken's existing site, the expanded plant addresses the growing demand for the company's spherical roller bearings (SRBs), cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs), and related products.
"This marks an important milestone in the company's ongoing growth journey in India," said Koul. "We are now able to manufacture Timken CRBs and SRBs locally, which brings us closer to our customers and enhances our speed to market."
