The state-of-the-art plant will manufacture in-demand Timken® spherical and cylindrical roller bearings
Timken India Limited, a leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion products, celebrates the expansion of its bearing manufacturing capabilities 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 Timken officials, key customers and suppliers to commemorate the event.

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

The expansion is adjacent to Timken’s current manufacturing site in Bharuch and will meet rising demand for the company’s spherical roller bearings (SRBs), cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs), and associated products.
“This marks an important milestone in the company’s continued expansion in India,” Koul says. “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.”

The plant was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring solar rooftop panels, zero liquid discharge, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting, electric material handling equipment; and over 900 trees planted on-site. The 55,465-square-meter facility houses cutting-edge, completely automated, and seamlessly connected grinding machines, as well as modern superfinishing equipment, which helps to assure precision and efficiency throughout the manufacturing process.
