Timken India has announced the expansion of its bearing manufacturing capabilities in Bharuch. 

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 Timken officials, key customers and suppliers to commemorate the event.

“This is an exciting time for Timken,” Roellgen said.

 “As we continue to accelerate profitable growth in attractive markets with innovative products, the expansion of our world-class manufacturing facility in Bharuch will help increase the value and service we provide to customers in the region and around the world," Roellgen added.

The expansion is adjacent to Timken’s existing manufacturing facility in Bharuch and will cater to 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 continued expansion in India.” Koul said. “We are now able to manufacture Timken CRBs and SRBs locally, which will bring us closer to our customers while boosting our speed to market.”
