LDA TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING LTD
Firm now boasts a strong customer base in the distributor
market as well as supplying a number of OEM customers
Established in 1980, LDA Transmission
Engineering Ltd has grown from a local
distributor of chains, sprockets and related
products into a manufacturer of bespoke
industrial chains and sprockets.
Originally supplying local end user
business, over the years they have
developed and changed their approach
and now have a strong customer base in
the distributor market as well as supplying
a number of OEM customers. From a small
beginning in a two roomed office they now
occupy a modern site, on a busy industrial
estate, which houses their offices and
manufacturing facility.
The chain manufacturing workshop is
equipped with a range of assembly presses,
including a new 50 ton hydraulic press, spin
riveting machines and large steel benches
for assembly and inspection. This allows
them to manufacture special attachment
chains for the full range of transmission
and conveyor chains in steel, plated (nickel
& zinc) and stainless steel all under one
roof. They also manufacture special pitch
chains from scratch with precision laser cut
plates and machined round parts, all done
with the help of their own ‘in house’ CAD
design, these are truly UK manufactured
chains.
Around seven years ago they added a
machining department to the business,
this allows them to offer a sprocket
manufacturing programme to existing
and new customers which perfectly
complimented the chain side of their
business, bringing their costs and prices to
customers down in the process. They now
have a range of lathes, milling machines
and keyway presses to enable them to
offer a complete service.
In addition to all of the above they also
stock a full range of steel and stainless
steel double pitch chains and hollow pin
chains which are imported from factories
in Europe (Spain & Italy), also they have a
full complement of agricultural chains and
attachments so they can provide a speedy
service for these chains when needed.
