ITL welcomes Diesel Progress International editor to see new axle plant. 
During May 2000 ITL were pleased to welcome Mr Peter Mullins to view the new axle plant at Wrexham and to meet the development team who have spearheaded the world's most modern and advanced axle plant.Peter is the UK-based features editor of International Diesel Progress magazine and regular readers of this publication will have seen the ITL coverage and advertisements regularly. Peter was impressed with the world-class facility and was interested to see infrared measurement instrumentation even on the production line. Much has been written and published about our unique approach and new way of building world class axles. This combines our ideas with custom specified machine tool centres to build, test, fit and check our products.  This new method of production is fundamental to our customer commitment in axle quality, service life and stable pricing.To put the development into context, recent aerial photography of the new plant shows the scale of commitment to which our build facility extends. The unit seen at the bottom left of the photograph houses the transmission build whilst the unit on the right is ITL HQ sales offices. The new plant (top) extends to 233,000 sq. ft of axle manufacturing and is connected by a personnel transport tunnel. Overall, the site extends to some 53 acres and half a million square feet of manufacturing facilities in total. Visitors can arrive by road, rail and helicopter while customer orders can be shipped by TIR, seafreight and airfreight from gateways close to the Wrexham facility. With international sales agreements and customers world-wide, ease of access and full axle and transmission technical support to our vast product range within 30-90kW (40-120 Hp), we are ideally placed to deliver a prompt, professional service to our customers. Our flexibility of order quantities, lead times and unequivocal delivery form an excellent basis for building enduring relationships around premium quality products. |
