Timken to Supply Steel Bars to Mexican Aerospace Manufacturer
01/22/2009 - Timken will supply hot-rolled steel bars to Frisa Aerospace, a manufacturer of seamless rolled rings for applications in the aerospace, chemical and energy industries.
The Timken Co. announced that is to supply hot-rolled steel bars to Frisa Aerospace, a manufacturer of seamless rolled rings for applications in the aerospace, chemical and energy industries.
Frisa will machine Timken’s 6-, 8- and 10.5-inch steel bars into mandrels that will be used to shape the rolled rings as they are being hot rolled. Due to the demanding process conditions, the mandrels need to be manufactured from high-quality high grade steels such as those that Timken will supply.
Timken will supply the steel bars to Monterrey, Mexico, based Frisa direct from its local warehouse and distribution center in Mexico. The distribution center, located near Mexico City, serves a wide range of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and aftermarket customers in the Mexican automotive, industrial and steel markets.
Timken provides innovative friction management and power transmission products and services. The company’s approximately 25,000 employees generated sales of $5.2 billion in 2007 from its operations in 27 countries.
