The Timken Company is entering what some are calling an industry recovery, and the Timken Aerospace division is a major component of the improving economic climate. According to general manager for aerospace Larry Shiembob, the Canton, Ohio-based company has been investing throughout the recession, expanding its product line and investing in a growing global presence.
Shiembob noted that today, 50 percent of Timken Aerospace revenue is from outside North America and Timkin as a whole is on track to surpass $5 billion in revenue in 2011.
At NBAA 2011 in Las Vegas, Timken announced completion of a new $2-million engine test cell at the company’s Mesa, Ariz. facility, where it now provides in-house engine and component overhaul services for a variety of engine platforms on airplanes and rotorcraft. The test cell is capable of analyzing Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A and PT6T engines as well as the Honeywell T53.
