    Final CERTAIN TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA INV. No. 731-TA-1380 (FINAL) HEARING BEFORE THE UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION JUNE 5, 2018 STATEMENT OF BRIAN J. RUEL VICE PRESIDENT, THE AMERICAS THE TIMKEN COMPANY Good morning, Chairman Schmidtlein, Commissioners and Commission staff My name is Brian Ruel. I am the Vice President for the Americas at The Timken Company. In my current role, I oversee all aspects of customer contacts in the Americas such as sales, application engineering and service engineering. I have responsibility for sales to both OEM customers and our distributors regardless of particular market such as automotive, heavy truck, various industrial, rail and so on. This is my 34th year in the bearing industry, and with Timken. I have been in my current role since the beginning of 2016. As Chris Coughlin just testified, tapered roller bearings come in a wide range of sizes, but in the market there are meaningful distinctions between small diameter TRBs (those that are 8" or smaller) and large diameter TRBs (those larger than 8"). The tapered roller bearing was invented to address a problem that vehicles were having handling cornering loads. Not surprisingly, the largest use of TRBs in the market continues to be automotive and heavy truck customers. Nearly 100% of these customers need and use 0-8" TRBs. There is a distinct automotive aftermarket which consists of distributors and dealers/service operations catering to automobiles and trucks. Replacement parts, like those used by OEM customers, are nearly all 0- 1 Final 8" in OD.
