Ringfeder moves to increase UK market share for locking assemblies and shrink disks

Ringfeder plans to increase it's UK market share for Locking Assemblies and Shrink Disks by appointing one of the UK's leading industrial engineering component suppliers as a distributor.

German power transmission product manufacturer Ringfeder has appointed Acorn Industrial Services Ltd as a UK distributor for its RINGFEDER, ECOLOC, TSCHAN and GERWAH range of internal clamping and external clamping locking devices and coupling products. Ringfeder is known as a world-leader in the power transmission industry, and this new partnership with ACORN® is set to strengthen this reputation even further. Following an initial investment of over £30,000, ACORN could now be considered the UK’s largest stockist of Ringfeder and ECOLOC locking assemblies and shrink disks.

When asked about the appointment, Adrian Birkin, UK Sales Manager from Ringfeder, remarked “Our goal is to support customers worldwide with quality products, superior technical know-how and quick delivery service. ACORN’s technical knowledge, stockholding and logistical experience fits perfectly with the Ringfeder ethos and we are really excited to have ACORN as our supply partner.”

Bob Wright, ACORN’s Couplings and Drives Product Manager commented “Ringfeder is one of the most respected manufacturers of quality locking elements and shrink discs in the world today. Their range is also one of, if not THE, largest in the market. ACORN is proud to become a UK distributor for the Ringfeder range, and we are delighted to be able to supply these high quality products.” Adding “Same day despatch means customers can now receive their locking devices faster than ever – potentially saving them hours or even days of downtime.“

ACORN has been supplying power transmission product to industry for over thirty years. Headquartered in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, it is one of the largest stocking distributors of high quality maintenance, repair and overhaul products in the UK, with a stockholding of over six million items, and nine regional branches across the country.
