In this issue
Sevenoaks, June 21st 2012
Effective immediately, leading high performance drivetrain specialist RT Quaife Engineering Ltd is delighted to announce the purchase of all tooling, designs and intellectual property relating to the Tran-X brand of transmission components from its parent company Auto Sport Engineering of Coventry.
As such, Quaife is now able to offer Tran-X’s existing trade and retail customers the vast majority of the firm’s current range ex-stock, including the popular Tran-X clutch plate limited slip differentials, close-ratio gearkits and Ford English / Atlas axle crownwheel and pinion sets.
Quaife has transferred production capability for the Tran-X range to its Sevenoaks headquarters, where manufacturing of new Tran-X stock is already underway to ensure continuity of supply.
Existing retail pricing for the Tran-X brand will be held in the short term but placed under review. Quaife also aims for a continuation of existing sales relationships with Tran-X’s trade clients, both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
The directors of Auto Sport Engineering are pleased to have completed the sale of Tran-X to Quaife Engineering. Auto Sport Director, Peter Edge said, “We feel we have taken Tran-X as far as we can and are delighted that a market leader such as Quaife Engineering will be involved in the future development of the brand.”
Commenting on the announcement, Quaife Director Sharon Quaife-Hobbs said: “Tran-X was launched over thirty years ago and the brand is well known amongst professional motorsport teams, club racers and car enthusiasts. The acquisition of Tran-X by Quaife allows us to seamlessly integrate the company’s product range into Quaife’s facilities and stringent quality criteria, whilst bringing it to a much larger potential market.”
“We now offer Quaife’s transmission customers a greater choice of differential options to suit their individual driving preferences, styles and technical requirements than ever before,” comments Quaife Director Michael Quaife. “In addition, key Tran-X products such as the English and Atlas crown wheel and pinions sets perfectly complement Quaife’s current high performance driveline product range.”
