North Carolina-based American Roller Bearing specializes in heavy-duty, industrial-class bearings in outer diameters of up to 84 inches. Timken said the company’s offerings will be added to Timken’s portfolio of engineered bearing solutions. 

Timken said ARB has a large U.S. installed base and strong aftermarket business. It generated sales of more than US$30 million in 2022, Timken said. 

"ARB's end-market mix, customer base and aftermarket position fit our Timken business model extremely well," said Richard G. Kyle, Timken president and chief executive officer. "We're proud to welcome ARB and its employees into The Timken Company."
