Precision ball bearings maker The Timken Co., based in North Canton, Ohio, recently entered into a $13.8 million federal agreement to boost production at its Timken Super Precision facility in Keene.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced June 20 it is partnering with Timken’s Keene plant, at 7 Optical Ave., to increase manufacturing of high-precision ball bearings for defense and aerospace systems.
