Rencol celebrates its 25th anniversary
Rencol Tolerance Rings is celebrating its Silver Jubilee. Starting out life in the corner of an injection moulding factory that made plastic ball knobs, Rencol has come a long way in a short space of time. Always based in the Bristol area, the company has faced many challenges as it has extended its customer base from local to national to global.
The company marked its first joint venture with the USA in 1990 and in 1992 began to sell into Germany. Marking the shift in the global manufacturing economy the company began selling into Japan in 1994 and in 1998 established a sales office in the country. More recently Rencol Tolerance Rings has sold into Asia with a joint venture in Singapore being set up in 2001 and the sale of hundreds of millions of tolerance rings into China, mostly to support the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) market.
