January 8, 2013
The Timken Company recently announced its acquisition of the assets of Wazee Companies, LLC, a regional leader providing motor, generator, wind and industrial crane services to diverse end markets including oil and gas, wind, agriculture, material handling and construction.  The addition of Wazee to The Timken Company's process industries segment further expands the footprint of the Timken industrial services business. Based in Denver, Colorado, Wazee had trailing 12-month sales through December 2012 of approximately $30 million. The acquisition brings Timken additional diversified services including motor rewind, generator rebuild, electric controls, industrial bridge cranes and uptower wind maintenance and repair, operating from four western U.S. locations. "We continue to focus our strategy on further diversifying the Timken services portfolio," said Carl Rapp, vice president of industrial services for Timken. "Wazee complements our industrial repair capabilities at existing customers and takes us into critical motor and generator services."
