For more than 100 years, Kilian Manufacturing has been one of the world’s largest producers of machine-race bearings and value-added assemblies.
Headquartered in Syracuse, New York, and with a second production facility in Toronto, Canada, about 180 people are employed to ensure Kilian maintains that leadership position.
