Timken recalls furnace crews to bring unit back online

Timken Roller Bearing Co recalls four crews to prepare a 40-ton electric furnace for first heat on Sunday after a shutdown since June 10. The move follows a slight rise in demand for special alloy steels, with layoffs of 240 finishing department workers in Canton and Gambrinus plants and a prior plan to cut about 275 across Canton and Gambrinus facilities.
