Timken Opens Sixth Plant in China

November 8, 2006
The Timken Company has opened a new aerospace precision products center in Chengdu, China. The plant is expected to include sales, engineering support and customer service capabilities for a range of aerospace bearings and other precision products.

Timken
                           selected Chengdu as the location for its sixth plant in China in part because it is a major Chinese aerospace center with
                           good technical infrastructure and an educated workforce.

This investment is directly tied to Timken's strategic
                           initiatives to expand our presence in industrial markets in Asia, as well as to build an increasingly diverse portfolio of
                           aerospace precision components and services worldwide," said Michael C. Arnold, president of Timken's Industrial Group. "Timken
