This commitment extends beyond mere compliance; it cultivates a culture of trust and accountability among employees and across its broader network of customers and stakeholders.

The recognition from Ethisphere reflects Timken's persistent endeavors to embed ethical considerations into its governance and decision-making framework.

Timken's recurrent presence on this esteemed list since its inception illustrates its resolve to prioritize ethical business practices, ultimately driving improved long-term performance.

Timken boasts extensive industry expertise, with sales reported at $4.6 billion in 2025 and a global workforce of approximately 19,000 spread across 45 countries.

Timken's status as one of only 31 companies to be recognized multiple times since Ethisphere's establishment further solidifies its reputation as an ethical leader in the industrial sector, fostering a legacy of responsible business practices.

In a strategic move to bolster growth, Timken has recently announced the acquisition of Bijur Delimon International (BDI), a leading manufacturer of automated lubrication systems. This acquisition is designed to enhance Timken's capabilities and market presence in critical sectors such as rail, power generation, and mining. BDI’s robust relationships within these essential markets are expected to complement Timken's existing offerings and provide new synergies for customer service.

As Timken integrates BDI into its operations, the company continues to focus on innovative solutions and enhanced customer experiences. Founded in 1872, BDI is projected to generate over $60 million in sales in 2026, contributing to Timken's strategic objectives. With cash reserves and existing facilities financing this acquisition, Timken remains well-positioned for future growth while reinforcing its commitment to ethical practices that resonate across its expansive global footprint.
