The city is located within the Guangdong Province, a centre of innovation and technology, providing a place for TR to produce its precision engineered screws to OEM’s and their sub-contractors, whilst leveraging its global scale on a local basis.
The new 2,800 sq. metres of manufacturing space houses 44 cold forging machines and 36 thread rolling machines. It is said to produce 0.6mm to 4mm micro screws and thread forming screws, in steel, stainless and titanium, with an output of around 1 billion pieces per annum.
TR Chai Yi has achieved the globally recognised ISO 9001 certification, demonstrating that TR has met the criteria required for quality, safety and efficiency standards for its products and services to customers in the region.
Jeremy Scholefield, Asia Pacific managing director, said: “We’re delighted to open this new facility and in such a renowned area, it’s such a positive move for TR as a group. Our focus is on producing competitive products and continuing to build a strong capability in China and across the Asia Pacific region to meet market demands.
“Here in Guangdong, one of our key differentiators is our technical engineering knowledge to produce very precise and often complex components, those that are manufactured to exact measurements and mass-produced. This latest investment is key for us, as it highlights TR’s robust development in the region and our commitment to staying close to key customers here.”
The new China plant is the company’s seventh global manufacturing facility with factories now also in Italy, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia.
