Timken’s Motives for Acquiring
Torrington



Increase market share in the global bearing market



Successful acquisition = being the 3

largest producer of

bearings with many complementary products



Global market share increase to 11%



Create more value for customers



Purchasing synergies



Economies of scale



Cost reductions



However: integration cost ~$130 million

How does Torrington fit with The Timken
Company? 1/2



In 2002, Timken was involved in a company-wide

restructuring (to reduce costs and to set the stage for

international growth) and also was planning to add new

products to its portfolio.  “Bundling”



Two companies shared many of the same customers (a

80% overlap) but had few products in common (only a

5% overlap in their product offerings). Timken would

expand its portfolio of products and service solutions

and broaden its technology and engineering capabilities.

How does Torrington fit with The Timken
Company? 2/2



Timken estimated to save more than $80 million in

consolidating manufacturing facilities and processes

(consolidating purchasing activities and distribution

channels, combining operations and eliminating

redundancies within the organization).



- The acquisition would let Timken become a worldwide

leader in bearing industry (third-largest producer of

bearing in the world). Increasing its penetration of the

global bearing market from 7% to 11%.

What are the expected synergies? 1/2



Torrington had sophisticated needle-bearing solutions

for automotive power-train applications, which

complemented Timken´s existing portfolio of tapered

roller bearing and precision-steel components for wheel

ends and drivelines.



Timken´s cylindrical bearings could be married with

flap-like parts from Torrington that lubricated moving

pieces.



Deliver Torrington products under the well-known

Timken brand name would increase its range of products

for aftermarket customers. Using for that the Timken´s

international distribution network. Create more value

for customers with a more complete product line and

more effective new product development



Being number three in the industry would help give

Timken more clout in negotiations with customers and

suppliers.

What are the expected synergies? 2/2
