The Timken Co., a provider of bearings and other products for the wind energy and industrial industries, has opened a 70,000-square-foot motor and gearbox repair facility adjacent to its existing service center in Pasco, Wash.
Built to enhance service to Timken Power Systems' customer base throughout the Pacific Northwest, the $7 million investment gives the facility additional capabilities to repair wind turbine generators, large electric motors and industrial gearboxes under one roof.
"We continue to grow our Timken Power Systems offering of services, working to provide customers in demanding industries with full drivetrain repairs – including gearboxes, motors, generators and large-diameter bearing repair," says Carl Rapp, vice president of the Timken Power Systems business.
