it took them over a year and no delivery on the parts for Timken
The other important part of this, at least to me, is that it was so Timken could test the parts.
What does that say about TPAC that it couldn't even get a few test parts to a major player.
One thing it says to me, is, they shouldn't have tried to get a PO without being ready.
Not good business.
Why would Timken ever want to do business with TPAC, again.
Which, to me, leads to other major players saying "yea, no thanks TPAC, we saw what you did with Timken".. That kind of stuff goes around the circuit... as is said "it's a small world".
