Timbren was founded in 1965 on the premise that suspensions could and should work better. In that year it acquired the Canadian patent for rubber torsion suspensions. In 1968 Timbren introduced Aeon rubber springs and began manufacturing SES (Suspension Enhancement Systems) kits in 1982. Over the past 30 years Timbren has regularly introduced new suspensions for trailers as well as agricultural and military equipment. For example, our Axle.Less trailer suspension earned the SEMA best new off-road product for 2012. Located in Whitby, Ontario Timbren continues to be family owned and run. Our on-going commitment is threefold: design innovation; strong customer relationships; and to retaining a first class workforce.
