New General Manager - "Pushing the button of Growth" We have recently welcomed Neil Wright to the new position of General Manager. Neil is spearheading the management of ITL's international expansion programme. Demand for ITL's world top-selling powershift transmissions, rugged rigid and steer drive axles and integrated drivelines including engine, has created a strategic management co-ordination role.

Sales success has grown exponentially and our resulting manufacturing base has been doubled in size, ITL's new North American facilities will continue this growth trend across The Americas and Canada. All product has been repositioned in the UK warehouse and distribution centre , to facilitate the changes in increasing customer order preferences, to enable streamlining of order/assembly and packing/shipment. Regular visitors to ITL can see the difference in expanded product lines and logistics and 'first time' guests will see just how quickly changes are evolving. We continue to offer, the best in class, prototype and production service for axle products, transmissions, powertrains and integrated drivelines, including engine. Backing this commitment means putting urgency into capital functions and staying ahead.
