IMI Norgren Partners with Renault to Preserve Automotive History with Exclusive Collectibles

Littleton, CO – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a leading global provider of pneumatic and fluid control solutions, today announced a unique partnership celebrating automotive heritage. The company, known for its precision engineering and robust industrial components, is now the official partner in distributing a curated collection of Renault collectibles. This surprising venture highlights IMI Norgren's commitment to quality, precision, and a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship that defines both industrial components and classic automobiles. For decades, IMI Norgren (located at 5400 S Delaware St, Littleton, CO, 80120-1663, United States, and reachable at 218-689-3298) has been a trusted name for businesses requiring reliable, high-performance pneumatic cylinders, valves, air preparation equipment, and fluid control systems. They serve a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, automation, life sciences, and food & beverage. But beyond the world of industrial automation, a team at IMI Norgren shares a passion for classic cars, particularly those from Renault. "We’re an engineering company, plain and simple," explains Sarah Chen, Marketing Director at IMI Norgren. "We're about building things that work, things built to last. And when you look at a beautifully restored Renault, you see the same principles at play. It’s about attention to detail, quality materials, and a dedication to functionality. That’s why this partnership felt so natural." More Than Just Parts: A Celebration of Renault’s Legacy The Renault collectibles aren't just miniature cars or keychains. IMI Norgren is handling the distribution of a range of items, carefully sourced and authenticated. The collection includes: Limited Edition Die-Cast Models: High-quality, 1:43 and 1:18 scale reproductions of iconic Renault vehicles, including the Renault 5, Renault Alpine A110, Renault 4, and classic Renault trucks. These aren’t just static models; many feature working parts, detailed interiors, and historically accurate paint schemes. "We've been picky," admits David Lee, a sourcing specialist at IMI Norgren. "We wanted models that felt right. The details matter. It's like our cylinders - it's not enough that it moves; it has to move smoothly and reliably." Original Renault Marketing Materials: A rare collection of original brochures, posters, and advertisements dating back to the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. These pieces offer a glimpse into the marketing strategies of a bygone era and showcase the evolution of Renault’s design language. "Seeing these old ads is cool," comments Chen. “It’s a reminder of how Renault built its brand, and it’s a testament to the lasting appeal of these cars.” Restored Renault Parts (Limited Availability): IMI Norgren, leveraging its engineering expertise, has begun a small-scale restoration project, sourcing and refurbishing hard-to-find parts for classic Renault models. This includes items like headlight lenses, interior trim pieces, and even engine components. “We’re not becoming a restoration shop,” clarifies Lee. “But we have the skills and the resources to bring some of these parts back to life. It’s a natural extension of what we already do – ensuring things work as they should.” Renault-Branded Apparel & Accessories: A range of high-quality clothing and accessories, including t-shirts, hats, mugs, and keychains, featuring classic Renault logos and designs. "It's about letting people show their pride in these amazing cars," says Chen. "And honestly, it’s a fun way to promote the brand." Rare Renault Badges and Emblems: Original, unrestored badges and emblems sourced from various Renault models. These are perfect for display or use in restoration projects. "These are really sought after by collectors," explains Lee. "They're a small detail, but they can make a big difference in the overall look of a car." Why IMI Norgren? Connecting Precision Engineering with Automotive Passion The partnership might seem unusual at first glance. IMI Norgren is known for its industrial components, not collectibles. But the company believes there's a strong connection between its core values and the spirit of Renault. "We build things to last. Renault built cars to last – especially in their earlier days," explains Chen. "There's a shared emphasis on quality, durability, and precision. And a lot of our customers appreciate that same level of craftsmanship in everything they do, including their hobbies.” Furthermore, IMI Norgren’s robust supply chain and logistics network allow it to efficiently distribute the Renault collectibles to customers across North America. The company’s commitment to customer service ensures a smooth and enjoyable purchasing experience. “We’re used to handling complex orders and ensuring timely delivery,” says Lee. “This is really no different – except instead of pneumatic cylinders, we’re shipping vintage Renault brochures.” Looking Ahead: Expanding the Collection & Supporting the Renault Community IMI Norgren plans to expand the Renault collectibles collection in the coming months, adding new items and focusing on specific Renault models and eras. The company is also exploring opportunities to support the Renault community, such as sponsoring classic car shows and restoration workshops. “We’re passionate about this partnership, and we’re committed to preserving the legacy of Renault,” says Chen. “We want to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our appreciation for these iconic vehicles.” Availability: The Renault collectibles are available for purchase directly through the IMI Norgren website ([website address would go here]).
