NORTH CANTON, Ohio, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a global technology leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion, today reported first-quarter 2025 sales of $1.14 billion, down 4.2 percent from the same period a year ago. The decrease was driven by lower end-market demand in both segments, and unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions. Organically, sales were down 3.1 percent from last year.
