Who We Are
We’re The Timken Company, a dynamic leader in engineered bearings and power transmission solutions. With over 125 years of experience, we’re all about innovation and making things move! Since our start in 1899, we've embraced new technologies to create top-notch products for industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. Throughout the years, we've proudly educated and shaped many skilled engineers who are now making waves in their fields.
Empowering the Next Generation through STEM
At Timken, we believe in the power of STEM education and its ability to shape the future. We’re dedicated to nurturing the next generation of engineers and innovators across Europe and beyond. We know that learning can be exciting, and we’re here to help make it even more engaging!
What We Do
We love getting involved in hands-on educational programs that bring STEM to life. For example, our subsidiary, Rollon, has teamed up with the Skyward team at the Polytechnic University of Milan to mentor students participating in the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC). In 2022, we helped the Skyward team soar to victory, proving that teamwork and innovation can lead to amazing results.
We also hosted an event in collaboration with the Maison pour la Science in Alsace, France. This event, held on February 13, 2024, focused on building school-business partnerships to promote STEM education. Timken representatives, including Dragos Oprescu, our Director General of Product Design and Development, discussed the importance of establishing FabLabs in schools, serving as innovative spaces for hands-on STEM learning that connects education to industry needs.
These are just two examples of our STEM initiatives going on across the globe!
