GEARS, DRIVES & MOTORS A COMPLETE SERVICE 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.
