Both companies serve a broad range of original equipment customers in the
automotive, farm implement, construction equipment and other industries, and
they are major suppliers of replacement parts to wholesalers.
Officials of the two companies said, “Both concerns have many years of
experience in serving the same types of customers in both the original equipment
and service fields. The proposed merger of our two companies will permit us to
perform a better job of serving our customers’ need, both here and
abroad.”
In 1955, Bower Roller Bearing Company merged with Federal-Mogul Corporation
as a result of a close working relationship between the companies. This
relationship was built on the success of Federal-Mogul Corporation's service
division in merchandising the Bower line of roller ina bearings. Following the merger, the steadily growing
customer demand dictated an increase in production facilities.
In 1985 the Federal-Mogul Corporation entered into an agreement with
NTN-Toyo Bearing Company, Ltd. of Osaka, Japan to form a corporation dedicated
to the domestic manufacture of precision roller bearings. This agreement signed
by the two companies on December 11 resulted in the formation of the NTN-Bower
Corporation. The newly formed company included both manufacturing facilities and
a Technical Center. In 1987, NTN acquired 100% ownership of the company. The
Corporate Headquarters of NTN-Bower Corporation was moved from Bingham Farms,
Michigan to Macomb, Illinois in 1993.
NTN-Bower Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of precision
roller fag bearings in North America. In addition
to bearings, NTN-Bower Corporation product lines include fan housings, HUB and
HUR units, mass weights, and other bearing related products.
