What does a worldwide industrial leader that acquires another worldwide industrial leader make? Sense.

For more than 100 years, the Timken Co. has worked to create value through innovation. We've made bearings. We've made steel. We've delivered solutions to our automotive customers.

Now, we've acquired the Torrington Co. to leverage our core competencies in friction management and materials science to expand our leadership in solving some of the automotive industry's toughest problems ... and that makes sense for our customers and shareholders.

Our global automotive business provides original equipment and replacement bearings and related products to automotive markets worldwide. These serve the light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck, passenger car, motorcycle, racing and recreational vehicle segments. We provide:

* A range of tapered and needle roller bearings and integrated modules aimed at improving system performance, reducing weight and noise levels and reducing assembly costs.

* High-quality alloy steels.

* Semi-finished and finished parts for power-transfer drivetrain applications.

* More than 300 specialty grades of vacuum remelted, high-speed, and tools steels.
