GGB, a provider of premium-engineered bearings and motion system solutions, is excited to announce its new parent company. The Timken Company has recently acquired GGB, combining the capabilities of two leaders in industrial motion products and engineered bearings for highly complementary industries. 

GGB serves a diverse range of sectors, customers, applications, and geographies with an extensive product portfolio that bolsters Timken’s existing engineered bearing solutions.

“GGB is a provider of quality metal-polymer plain bearings with expertise in tribology, surface engineering, and material science,” says Scott Schroeder, media relations manager at The Timken Company. “Its plain bearing and coating solutions complement Timken as a leader in roller and ball bearings.” 

GGB strives to solve motion control challenges through collaborative partnerships with experts and industry thought leaders. Through its solution-driven process, GGB can optimize engineered surfaces subjected to wear and friction. With manufacturing facilities across the United States, China, and Europe, GGB products are used across several industrial applications, including material handling, aerospace, energy, off-highway, pumps and compressors, and HVAC. 

The Timken Company operates from 43 countries and has over a century of experience providing industrial motion products and engineered bearings designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of global equipment and machinery. With GGB now under its umbrella, The Timken Company can continue to grow and serve a broader range of applications and end-market sectors.
