IMI Norgren LLC Revs Up Collector Market with Exclusive Renault Collectibles
Littleton, Colorado – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a leading force in pneumatic and fluid control solutions, is surprisingly shifting gears and entering the world of automotive collectibles. The Littleton, Colorado-based company, traditionally known for its high-performance industrial components, is now offering a curated selection of Renault collectibles, a move that's raising eyebrows and sparking excitement among car enthusiasts and collectors. For decades, IMI Norgren (reachable at 218-689-3298) has been a quiet powerhouse behind the scenes, providing essential components for manufacturing, automation, and process control. They’re the guys who make the stuff inside the machines that build, well, pretty much everything. But it turns out, the people at IMI Norgren aren’t just engineers and technicians – they’re passionate car buffs too! “It started as a bit of an internal obsession,” explains a representative from IMI Norgren. “A few of us are huge Renault fans. We started collecting, finding interesting pieces, and then realized… maybe there are others out there who share our passion.” And so, the company’s new “Renault Collectibles” division was born. But why Renault? “Renault has a really rich history,” the representative continues. “It’s a brand with a lot of innovation, racing pedigree, and beautifully designed cars. From the early pioneers to the iconic classics and the modern Formula 1 team, there's just something special about Renault. Plus, good luck finding a ton of this stuff in the US!” What’s on Offer? A Peek Under the Hood IMI Norgren isn’t just throwing any old Renault merchandise together. They've put a lot of effort into sourcing genuinely interesting and collectible items. Here’s a taste of what collectors can expect: Vintage Renault Badges & Emblems: These aren't just stickers; they’re genuine badges that adorned classic Renault models like the 4L, Dauphine, and Alpine. IMI Norgren has managed to track down a variety of condition levels, from pristine, untouched examples to well-loved badges with a bit of patina – giving them character! Original Renault Sales Brochures & Literature: Forget digital PDFs. IMI Norgren has a growing collection of original sales brochures, owner’s manuals, and workshop publications dating back decades. These aren't just for reading; they’re snapshots of a bygone era and valuable reference materials for restorers. Imagine flipping through the pages showcasing the sleek lines of a Renault Alpine A110! Renault Model Cars (Diecast & Scale Models): From limited-edition collector's pieces to more affordable reproductions, IMI Norgren offers a range of Renault model cars in various scales. They’ve got everything from the classic Renault 5 Turbo to the latest Formula 1 racers. Renault Keyrings, Ashtrays & Promotional Items: It’s not all about the big stuff. IMI Norgren also has a selection of smaller, more affordable Renault collectibles like vintage keyrings, ashtrays (yes, even those!), and promotional items from various periods. These are great for adding a touch of Renault flair to your everyday life or for starting a collection without breaking the bank. Renault Alpine Memorabilia: A particular focus of the collection is Renault Alpine. The company has really gone deep, uncovering rare posters, race programs, and other memorabilia related to the iconic French sports car manufacturer. This stuff is seriously cool and highly sought-after by collectors. Rare Renault Parts (NOS – New Old Stock): This is where things get really interesting. IMI Norgren, leveraging its industrial connections, has been able to source some incredibly rare New Old Stock parts for classic Renault models. These aren't just for display; they can actually be used to restore and maintain classic cars, making them a treasure for restoration enthusiasts. Think carburetors, trim pieces, and even complete body panels! Why is an Industrial Company Selling Renault Collectibles? It’s a valid question. IMI Norgren's spokesperson admits the move is unconventional. “We’re an engineering company, first and foremost. But we also believe in passion and pursuing what you love. We see this as a way to connect with a community of like-minded enthusiasts and share our passion for Renault. Plus, it's a fun challenge!” They also point out that the company’s core competencies – sourcing, logistics, and quality control – translate surprisingly well to the collectibles market. “We’re used to finding hard-to-get parts and ensuring they meet strict quality standards. That’s exactly what we’re doing with these Renault collectibles.” Where to Find These Collectibles IMI Norgren is primarily selling its Renault collectibles online through a dedicated section of their website (details available upon request). They also plan to participate in select automotive events and swap meets in the coming months. “We’re building this up slowly,” says the representative. “We want to focus on providing a curated selection of high-quality items and excellent customer service.” The Future of Renault Collectibles at IMI Norgren IMI Norgren has ambitious plans for its Renault collectibles division. They’re constantly expanding their inventory, researching new sources, and exploring opportunities to collaborate with other Renault enthusiasts. “We see this as a long-term project,” says the representative. “We want to become a trusted source for Renault collectibles in the US and beyond. And who knows? Maybe we’ll even start restoring classic Renaults ourselves!” For more information about IMI Norgren’s Renault collectibles, or to contact the company, you can reach them at 218-689-3298 or inquire through their general contact channels.
