Solutions and Technology of the American Timken Benefit the Brazilian Naval Industry Through Abecom, Official Distributor of the Company in the Country
Timken is an American company that is currently working on the development of bearings and solutions aimed at the naval industry, ensuring more safety and operational efficiency in the vessels of the sector.
The use of cutting-edge equipment in the naval industry not only guarantees more safety in operations but also reduces the time required for project approval in the segment, a key point for Timken in the production of its equipment.

In addition, the company works with a total of nine brands of parts and components for 16 different systems of heavy work ships. In Brazil, its official distributor is Abecom, headquartered in the state of São Paulo for almost 60 years, offering the national naval industry the cutting-edge solutions of the American company.
Moreover, in addition to the bearings for more agility in projects, Timken also develops the PT Tech clutch line, which also makes this approval quicker and safer.
Thus, Jason Rebucci, president of PT Tech and Torsion Control Products, two brands of Timken that operate in the maritime sector, commented on how these equipment can contribute to projects in the naval industry and said: “The clutches require couplings on the input side, and, on the output side, may need chains, belts, transmission boxes, and bearings. We are specialists in all these areas and utilize our engineering and manufacturing expertise to bring the vision of naval designers to reality. In this way, we help to reduce the project approvals with maritime authorities by weeks or even months.”
Abecom Company Serves More Than 200 Groups Focused on the Naval Industry and Ensures the Cutting-Edge Solutions of the American Company for the National Market
In addition to the bearings and gears produced by Timken for the naval industry, the company also develops propulsion systems with rotating propellers that enhance the maneuverability of vessels without the need for a rudder.
Thus, in addition to contributing to greater operational efficiency in the national naval industry, this type of solution ensures more safety in fishing activities, a sector greatly benefited by Abecom’s presence in Brazil.
The Timken solutions that benefit fishing in the country also include the bearings produced by the company, which protect against corrosion and increase the reliability of seafood processing.
Therefore, Abecom’s CEO, Rogério Ezequiel Rodrigues, highlighted the importance of Timken’s solutions for the Brazilian naval industry and recalled that the company serves more than 200 industrial groups, representing over 1,000 manufacturing plants in the country.
Abecom operates in Brazil from its headquarters in São Paulo with a CD2, located in the northern zone of the capital city, and the COC (Shared Operations Center) in the eastern zone. It also offers Timken solutions to its branches in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Curitiba, in Paraná, and Belo Horizonte, in Minas Gerais.
