Our Company

In 1915, The Timken Company began producing its own steel to ensure a stable supply for bearing manufacturing during World War I. By adding a steel tube mill and melt shop to its Canton facilities, the company gradually exceeded its internal steel needs and began selling alloy steel to outside buyers. With one of the nation’s first electric arc furnaces, the company forged a new standard for high-performance metals. Through the years, as we evolved into Metallus, our reputation for manufacturing high-strength, high-performance metals expanded our market reach from automotive into industrial, aerospace & defense, and energy. Even as we begin the next iteration of our company as Metallus, we continue to focus on applying our metallurgical knowledge and designing products that meet customers’ specifications.

Our premium air-melt technology elevates the quality of our special bar quality steel and billets, optimizing them for use in critical applications. We can create custom tube sizes in over 500 grades and have the capability to apply multiple thermal treatment options. Quality lends itself to product durability and lifecycle, and we produce our steels to American Iron and Steel Institute standards. We also offer precision cutting and ring gear machining as part of our manufactured components product offering. Our superior customer service team provides supply chain management, program management, and full order lifecycle support to help customers remain focused on their priorities.
