W.R. "Tim" Timken, Jr., Chairman and CEO of The Timken Company (Canton, Ohio) has been elected the new Chairman
of the National Association of Manufacturers. The Chairman's term is one year.
Mr. Timken succeeds James Keyes of Johnson Controls.
The National Association of Manufacturers, founded in 1895, is the United States' oldest and largest
industrial trade group. With 11 offices around the country, the group currently represents 14,000 member
companies and 350 member associations.
Mr. Timken, who is heavily involved in supporting political and educational programs, is expected to spend
considerable time and effort urging manufacturers and their employees to become more politically active.
"Nobody understands what policies are good for the American economy more than manufacturers. We make
products, and we make prosperity. It's time to make a political difference," he said.
Mr. Timken will also work to get out the message of basic manufacturing in the dot-com era. He said, "It's past
time for us to stop hearing the all-too-familiar story of manufacturing companies that are doing better than
they've done in years - in terms of quality, sales, productivity and profits - but whose stocks are lower
than they've been in years. It's time for financial markets to recognize that the dot-com fad is over and that
investing money the old fashioned way, in companies that make a profit, is America's foundation for future growth."
