NTN-Bower Corp
NTN Bower Corporation began in 1904 when R. F. Bower of Dayton, Ohio patented a newly designed thrust controlling roller bearing. The new Bower bearing proved extremely successful in controlling the problem of horse-drawn carriages losing wheels while making turns at high speeds. As a result, in 1907 several Dayton businessmen became interested in the product and organized the Bower Roller Bearing Company. For more than 100 years, NTN-Bower roller bearings have been recognized for precision and performance. With the support of NTN Corporation, NTN-Bower stands as one of the largest manufacturers of precision roller bearings in North America. The company continues to expand and improve the quality of its products to meet the demands of customers. In addition to bearings, NTN-Bower Corporation has recently expanded its product lines to include fan housings, HUB and HUR units, mass weights, and other bearing related products.
