They were joined by other Timken executives, customers, and suppliers to mark the milestone.
Andreas Roellgen expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “This is a significant moment for Timken. As we continue to drive growth in high-demand markets with innovative products, the expansion of our Bharuch plant will enhance the value and service we offer to customers both regionally and globally.”
