• Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Operators in Heavy Industry: This category includes companies that manufacture or operate large-scale industrial machinery and equipment across sectors such as mining, aggregates, cement, metals, paper, and energy (including wind, solar, oil & gas). These customers integrate Timken's engineered bearings and power transmission products into their equipment.
• Industrial Distributors: These are companies that act as intermediaries, purchasing Timken's products to resell to a vast network of other industrial customers for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) needs across a multitude of manufacturing and service sectors.
