Southern Manufacturing and Electronics is ‘the most comprehensive annual industrial exhibition in the UK’, showcasing expertise, technology and innovations in machinery, production, electronics and components across a wide range of industrial sectors throughout Europe. There is also a large focus on assembly, tooling and subcontract services at the show. TR engineers, manufactures and distributes industrial fasteners to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in sectors ranging from automotive, electronics and domestic appliances, supplying more than 60 billion components annually to over 5,000 companies across 60 countries. Manufacturing and engineering plays a central role in TR’s global operations and the firm’s 31 worldwide sites include eight manufacturing plants equipped with the latest technologies and facilities to cater for every customer’s needs. The continued investment in equipment, resources and skills in these facilities enables the development of innovative fastening solutions, such as the newly launched TR patented EPW screw, a self-extruding thread-forming screw designed for use in thin sheet metal. TR also supports emerging sectors such as Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, with its combination of fastener product ranges and industry knowledge and expertise. At Southern Manufacturing, TR will be exhibiting a full range of industrial fasteners, including its own branded fasteners for sheet metal, enclosure hardware, fasteners for plastic, security fasteners, and plastic hardware, as well as special fasteners designed and manufactured to customer drawings. The EPW screw will also be on display at the show, with TR engineers on hand to talk through its applications and benefits. TR will be joined on its stand by representatives from Nord-Lock, the global 36 PECM Issue 36 manufacturer of washers and bolting solutions. As a supplier to TR, the two companies work closely together and sharing a stand at the show allows them the opportunity to demonstrate their added value to potential customers and partners. Kevin de Stadler, UK & Ireland Sales Director at TR Fastenings, comments: “The chance to discuss our products and services with potential customers is always valuable and Southern Manufacturing will give us a great opportunity to meet with representatives from multiple industries across Europe to share our expertise and demonstrate the breadth of our product range. “The fact that the show covers such a large variety of sectors, disciplines and specialities means we can not only reach a wider audience but also partake in conversations about the issues and market conditions affecting each aspect of the manufacturing industry.” Stand L70, 5th -7th February 2019, Farnborough, UK www.trfastenings.com/
