Toronto facilities currently ship Torrington(R) and Fafnir(R)
products to authorized distributors throughout Canada and the
western U.S. They will become integrated within the existing CoLinx
operations that have already been shipping Timken(R) products for
two years. These current moves drive greater efficiencies because
they provide Timken with two primary distribution points for all of
its brands across Canada and the western U.S. Canadian Transfer The
transfer between CoLinx Canada and Timken includes the movementof
warehouse operations from the current 15,000 square-foot facility
located in Mississauga, a Toronto suburb, to a new 50,000
square-foot CoLinx warehouse in Bramalea, Ontario. CoLinx Canada
has offered employment opportunities to Timken's four full-time
warehouse associates. Reno Transfer In Reno, warehouse operations
from the current 20,000 square-foot facility will be transferred to
a 110,000 square-foot facility in Sparks, Nevada. CoLinx has also
offered employment opportunities to Timken's four full-time Reno
warehouse associates. "These initiatives allow us to advance our
logistics function so that we have central distribution operations
for the full complement of quality Timken products across Canada
and the western United States," said Kari Groh, general manager --
global logistics and customer service for Timken's distribution
management business. "These moves also set the stage for us to
provide 'one face to the customer,' a key objective since we
acquired The Torrington Company last year. "We trust that our
distributors will find it much easier to do business with us as
soon as we complete the integration of our order management
systems, which is scheduled for later this year," she added. "In
the interim, the product will be co-located, but we will continue
operating on separate order management systems -- one for Timken
products and the other for Torrington and Fafnir products." "We are
excited about expanding our relationship with Timken and are well-
prepared to integratethese activities into our new facility in
Bramalea and our operation in Sparks," said Don Louis, who serves
as chairman of CoLinx Canada ULC and chief executive officer of
CoLinx, LLC. "This transfer further demonstrates the strength of
the CoLinx shared services model and underscores our commitment to
serve our member brands." The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) (
