Renold Group Operations Overview

Renold plc is an international group delivering high precision engineered products and solutions to our customers worldwide.

Chain

 

We operate at the leading edge of technology, with innovative products designed to meet customers’ exacting standards.

Our vast range of roller chains means that for most requirements there is a Renold solution. Our premium chain product, Renold Synergy, offers unbeatable wear and fatigue performance, while our all-purpose range of SD chain provides affordable reliability. Continuous development, innovation and ingenuity has led to the production of more specialised solutions such as Hydro-Service, with its superior corrosion-resistant coating, and the Syno range which sets a new benchmark for chains requiring little or no lubrication.

Conveyor chain applications, including theme park rides, water treatment plants, cement mills, agricultural machinery, mining and sugar production, all rely on the high specification materials and processes used by Renold. Renold is also a market leader in leaf chain used in many of the forklift trucks produced worldwide.

Our high specification tooth chain business produces a wide range of inverted tooth chain (sometimes known as silent chain) for drives and conveying applications. Offering a reliable, efficient and cost effective solution, tooth chain applications are wide-ranging and include glass production and automobile assembly lines.

Torque Transmission

 

We are experts in providing bespoke couplings and gear solutions across industries worldwide, such as power generation, rail and escalator transit systems, metals production and materials handling.

Our solutions deliver durability, reliability and long life for demanding industrial applications. Renold Torque Transmission also provides a range of freewheel clutches featuring both sprag and roller ramp technology. Sprag clutches are used in a wide range of safety-critical applications such as keeping riders safe on some of the world’s most thrilling rollercoasters.

In a number of locations we also offer service and maintenance from our own teams of engineers. These services can be provided in our own facilities or in the field.

Global Presence, Local Markets

Renold continues to benefit from its presence in a wide spread of geographic markets and even wider range of diverse end-user applications across a myriad of industry sectors.

Our global manufacturing footprint not only enables the business to control product specification and quality, but positions us well to service customers with a rapid response in both our traditional geographic territories and within emerging markets. For example, our facilities in India, China and Malaysia combine to offer an excellent platform for growth in Asia while also supporting established markets in Europe, the Americas and Australasia.

Our global sales and distribution network is designed to offer local commercial support and rapid delivery, ensuring that we meet our customers’ exacting specifications. It also enables the aggregation of overall demand to drive economies of scale within our factories. While engineering and product development is coordinated globally, local support teams ensure that we are able to rapidly understand and provide solutions for customers’ often technically challenging power transmission and conveying applications.
