Timken has agreed to acquire Nadella Group, a manufacturer of motion technology based in Italy.

Founded in 1930, Nadella Group is a manufacturer of linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators and systems and other specialized motion solutions. Nadella has 450 employees across 14 locations, including eight specialized manufacturing plants, in Italy, Germany, France, U.K., Spain, U.S. and China.

“Nadella’s differentiated solutions are custom engineered for premium applications in attractive and growing market sectors, including medical, food and beverage, packaging and automation,” Timken executive vice president Christopher Coughlin said in a news release. “We also see significant growth opportunities for Nadella products in North America as part of Timken.”

Timken’s acquisition of Nadella is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023 and will be funded with cash on hand and borrowings from committed credit facilities, according to the release.

News of the acquisition comes a week after Timken announced it will close its plant in Gaffney, South Carolina by the end of 2023.
