By Google News Motors ·
Ebbw Vale-based specialist manufacturer Avon TSA will open its doors to automotive and manufacturing businesses for a networking event with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
The event will take place at the company’s premises on the Blaenant Industrial Estate, Brynmawr, on Friday 13 November, bringing together SMMT members and businesses from the automotive and wider manufacturing sectors.
Visitors will be able to see Avon TSA’s manufacturing operations and learn about its acoustic and vibration-management products and processes.
The company specialises in noise, vibration, harshness and temperature (NVH-T) control, and is the UK’s only 3M Thinsulate Preferred Converter. 3M technical specialists will also attend to discuss material selection and NVH-T applications.
Avon TSA Managing Director Roger Warr said: “We are proud to represent Wales within the international automotive industry and delighted to welcome fellow manufacturers and SMMT members to Avon TSA.”
“There is a great deal of manufacturing expertise within Wales, and this event is an opportunity to bring businesses together, exchange ideas, explore the challenges facing the sector and strengthen relationships across the automotive supply chain.”
Founded in 1977 as Textile Shapes & Assemblies, the company first supplied specialist fabric products to manufacturers, later moving into anti-vibration and acoustic insulation for customers including Sony and Panasonic before developing its automotive business, supplying manufacturers including Honda and Nissan. It joined the Bristol-headquartered Avon Group in 2014.
General Manager Armorel Jackson said: “Millions of specialist components manufactured by Avon TSA are now used in vehicles produced by some of the world’s leading automotive brands.”
Fellow Avon Group companies AER Stafford, AER Maerdy and P&D Manufacturing will also attend the event. Places can be booked through the SMMT website.
