Timken Enhances Website with New Look and Advanced CAD Features for Customers
CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 24, 2011 - Visitors to www.timken.com, the website of The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR), will find a refreshed design with lighter colors, an easier search function and more intuitive navigation -- all resulting from an in-depth study of site's users.
The update of www.timken.com also features an extensive new engineering platform packed with CAD drawings of the products referenced by part number that are most frequently requested by design engineers specifying Timken in their machinery.
Timken solicited feedback to learn how engineers, customers and students interact with the company's site relative to Timken peers.
"We listen carefully to our customers, and that's what this revamp is about," said Bob Daniel, general manager of business communications. "To serve our customers' need for information, our response is to put 'everything Timken' right at their fingertips." Daniel noted that the site is available in 12 languages, and the company plans to continue to add to the extensive tools and data already on its site.
