Vinnie K Dasari has been named corporate vice president - manufacturing transformation at The Timken Company.

The Timken Company is a manufacturer of highly engineered bearings, alloy and specialty steels and components, and provider of related products and services.

In this new position, Dasari will head the company's Manufacturing Strategy Implementation Team on a full-time basis.

Previously, he was also serving as president - rail.

Earlier this year the company entered a transformation phase, emphasising a strategic refocusing of its manufacturing operations. This refocusing of operations is going to be Dasari's responsibility as head of the MSIT.

"The change in Vinnie's title and responsibilities definitely reflects the importance we are placing on accelerating the pace of the second phase of our transformation," said James W Griffith, president and chief operating officer.

"The current economic situation reinforces the need for our transformation and its objectives. This is an exciting chapter in our history as we accelerate the transformation to better serve our customers, associates and stakeholders worldwide," he added.

Dasari started with the company in 1992 as a senior bearing business analyst in Canton, Ohio. Prior to joining the company, he spent five years with General Electric in various businesses focusing on manufacturing.

He has a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Louisville, a master's degree in engineering management from the Robert R McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University and a master's degree in business administration from the J L Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.

Timken has operations in 24 countries, and employs about 20,000 people worldwide. In year 2000, it recorded sales of US $2.6 billion.
