Tianjin Timing Seals Co Ltd has been acquired by John Crane EAA, a leader in modern sealing technology.

The resulting new company, Tianjin-based John Crane Timing, provides customers with local access
to a global scale resource in the Chinese market, the company said.
Tianjin Timing Seals Co Ltd had earned itself a reputation as a leading provider of hi-technology turbo-machinery sealing products for industrial applications.
Led by an expert in fluid sealing technology, academician of the Chinese Institute of Engineers, Professor Wang Yuming, the company had developed an impressive combination of design skills, manufacturing facilities and local market knowledge and a presence.  
The creation of John Crane Timing will now build on that position by offering customers in the region a wider range of products, improved in-territory facilities and easy access to a resource that blends the latest sealing technology with practical sealing expertise, the company said.
With the support of the worldwide John Crane organisation, John Crane Timing will now be the only company in the region able to use its own proprietary technology to develop latest sealing solutions for different types of application, the company claimed.
The company’s product range will be drawn from both the existing John Crane and Tianjin Timing Seals Co portfolios, and will include both high and low pressure seals suited to different applications in such process industries as oil, gas, pulp and paper, petrochemicals and chemicals.
Complementing these seals will be a variety of associated products such as John Crane’s Metastream power transmission couplings and the Monobloc seal support systems that will allow John Crane Timing to provide comprehensive sealing solutions.
Technical support and service will be available on a round-the-clock basis both on-site and at the company’s Tianjin headquarters, which also provides customers with access to state-of-the-art seal repair and test facilities.  
John Crane Timing will reflect the principal goal of the entire John Crane organisation, which is  to generate long-term partnerships with its customers by providing cost-effective sealing solutions that contribute towards reducing the total cost of ownership for those customers.
