AUTOMECHANIKA SHOW PREVIEW
INDUSTRY SPECIALIST
TR FASTENINGS
TR FASTENINGS IS EXHIBITING AT AUTOMECHANIKA
BIRMINGHAM FOR THE 4TH TIME!
TR Fastenings (TR) will be exhibiting at
Automechanika Birmingham from 4th-6th
June 2019, when the successful exhibition for
the automotive supply chain returns to the
NEC for its fourth year.
TR is part of Trifast plc and is a global
specialist in the design, engineering,
manufacture and distribution of high quality
industrial and Cat C fastenings principally
to major global assembly industries. TR has
31 business locations within the UK, Asia,
Europe and the USA including eight high
volume, high-quality and cost-effective
manufacturing sites.
TR will be exhibiting at Automechanika
Birmingham on Stand F92, having enjoyed
success at the previous three events. TR sees
the event as “the place to be seen” and it is
an important part of its annual calendar of
events and promotions.
As a Full Service Provider (FSP) to Tier 1 and
Tier 2 businesses supporting global OEMs
in the automotive industry, TR delivers
comprehensive support to its customers
giving an end2end service.
A key focus this year will be on components
for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging units and
EV batteries (EVBs) as the EV market gathers
considerable pace. The products required for
these areas are already within TR’s portfolio
and we will be able to support and advise on
applications.
Glenda Roberts, Trifast’s Global Sales Director,
comments: “The growth of the EV market
and the electric highways being created
has led TR into new areas of development,
in particular with battery production, the
fixings that are required and the finishes. Our
strength as a manufacturer and distributor
is further enhanced by the design and
technical support that we are providing to
our customers as part of the FSP service. We
have heavily invested in recruiting fastener
engineers over the last few years and this
is proving to be a much-needed support
that we can offer to our customers, from the
initial design right though to VA/VE initiatives
on mature products.”
TR’s qualified engineers and Product
Managers will be on hand at
52
PECM Issue 38
Automechanika to advise designers,
production and purchasing teams,
encouraging them to bring their fastener
application issues to us so we can offer
solutions and demonstrate our knowledge.
TR is a member of the Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and
the North East Automotive Association
(NEAA) and has benefitted greatly from
its association with these organisations.
Attending Automechanika Birmingham
over the last three years has enabled TR
to further cement its position within the
automotive industry, allowing it to access
and converse with wider audiences, from
design through to aftermarket.
