NEW YORK, March 19, 2026 – Proskauer advised Industrial Manufacturing Company International LLC on the closing of the sale of the assets and related businesses of its North Carolina-based subsidiary, Bijur Delimon International (BDI), a leading global designer and manufacturer of automated lubrication systems, to The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR), a global technology leader in engineered bearings and industrial motion.
Founded in 1872, BDI operates manufacturing locations in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific and offers a broad range of industrial products and systems designed to support diverse applications across industries, positioning it as one of the world’s largest providers in its field.

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.
