The Timken Company, a global technology leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion, has appointed Timothy A. Graham as president of industrial motion and an officer of the company, effective immediately.
Graham, who most recently served as vice president of operations for Engineered Bearings, succeeds Christopher A. Coughlin. Coughlin, who announced his retirement earlier this year, will remain with the company through his planned retirement to help ensure a seamless transition.
Since joining Timken in 2003, Graham has built an impressive track record leading complex global operations. Most recently, as vice president of operations for Engineered Bearings, he led a worldwide network of bearing manufacturing and distribution facilities. His responsibilities also included companywide leadership of supply chain, sourcing, quality, continuous improvement, EH&S and sustainability. Graham served as acting president for American Roller Bearing and Aurora Bearing following their acquisitions, and gained valuable international experience leading European operations from Colmar, France. Before joining Timken, Graham held supply chain leadership roles at International Paper and Thomas & Betts.
