Timken Broadens Automated Lubrication Systems Capabilities with Acquisition of Bijur Delimon

 

 

March 21, 2026 - The Timken Company, a global technology leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion, has acquired the assets and related businesses of North Carolina-based Bijur Delimon International (BDI), a leading global designer and manufacturer of automated lubrication systems.


"The acquisition of Bijur Delimon aligns with our near-term strategic priority to accelerate growth in key market verticals," said Lucian Boldea, Timken president and chief executive officer. "Timken has built a leading automated lubrication systems platform, that benefits from strong secular tailwinds, including a shortage of skilled labor and shifting demographics. BDI elevates our existing capabilities, deepens our presence in attractive market sectors and regions, and creates meaningful synergy opportunities that strengthen our ability to serve customers more completely as one Timken."


Since entering the lubrication business in 2013, Timken has grown its position into a leading provider of industrial automated lubrication systems, which extend equipment life and lower total costs for machine owners. BDI's strong customer relationships in key market verticals like rail, power generation and mining enhance and expand Timken's established position in automated lubrication systems, creating a more comprehensive offering for these key industries.


Founded in 1872, BDI operates manufacturing locations in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific. The business is expected to generate more than $60 million in sales in 2026.


Timken funded the transaction with cash on hand and existing committed facilities. Other terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
