Executive Summary
The case ‘The Timken Company’ is about the acquisition of the Torrington from ‘Ingersoll-Rand’ by the
Timken Company. Torrington produces the best quality bearing while the Timken has many wings where
bearing is an important division of their business. Both these companies has 5% of product and 80% of

However we have found several circumstances of the financing opportunities for this acquisition which
will affect the value of Timken. we analyzed various risk related to these financing like Interest Rate Risk,

After calculating the NPV of the financing options we have run simulation technique for the potential
investment. We have tried to focus on the best option for the acquisition that will increase the value of
the firm most.
