IMI Norgren LLC Partners with Renault to Launch Exclusive Collectibles, Boosting Automation Solutions with a Touch of Automotive History
Littleton, CO – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a leading global manufacturer of fluid and motion control solutions, today announced a unique collaboration with Renault, resulting in a limited-edition series of Renault-branded collectibles. This isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about showcasing IMI Norgren's commitment to precision engineering, reliability, and a dedication to building strong partnerships – values shared by both companies. IMI Norgren, based right here in Littleton, Colorado, has been a powerhouse in industrial automation for decades. We build the stuff that makes other stuff – pneumatic cylinders, valves, air preparation units, you name it. Essentially, we help factories and machines move smoothly, efficiently, and dependably. We serve a massive range of industries, from food and beverage packaging and pharmaceutical manufacturing to automotive assembly and material handling. For years, folks have trusted our components to keep things running. Our phone lines are always busy (218-689-3298 if you need us!), and we’re always working on the next innovation. Now, why Renault collectibles? Well, it’s a clever way to highlight what we do. Just like a perfectly engineered Renault vehicle, our products are built with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to lasting performance. Renault has a long history of innovation, pushing boundaries in automotive technology, and that resonates with our own philosophy. What are these Renault Collectibles? This isn't your average branded swag. We’re talking about a carefully curated selection of meticulously crafted items, celebrating iconic Renault models and design elements. Think scale models of classic Renault race cars, beautifully rendered blueprints of legendary vehicles, and even limited-edition artwork inspired by Renault’s design heritage. “We wanted to do something different,” explains Sarah Chen, IMI Norgren’s Marketing Director. “Everyone does keychains and pens. We wanted to offer something genuinely collectible, something that speaks to the craftsmanship and passion that goes into both Renault vehicles and our industrial components." The collection isn't about replacing our core products, it's about enhancing the experience for our valued customers. We're giving away a piece of automotive history with select purchases and at key industry events. How Does this Relate to IMI Norgren's Products? You might be asking, “Okay, cool collectibles, but what does this have to do with pneumatic cylinders?” Good question! The connection lies in the core principles of engineering excellence. Let's take a look at how our products contribute to the automotive industry, and how this ties into the Renault collaboration: Pneumatic Cylinders: These are the workhorses of automated assembly lines. Think of a robotic arm welding a car door, or a system placing a windshield. IMI Norgren cylinders provide the precise, reliable motion needed for these critical tasks. They’re used extensively in Renault factories (and many others!) for everything from body assembly to paint application. Valves: Controlling the flow of air is crucial in any pneumatic system. Our valves ensure that air reaches the right cylinders at the right time, with the right pressure. This precision is vital for consistent quality and efficient operation on the production line. We have a whole range of valves - directional control valves, proportional valves, and more – all designed for demanding industrial environments. Air Preparation Units (FRLs): Clean, dry, and regulated air is essential for the longevity and performance of pneumatic systems. Our FRLs filter out contaminants, remove moisture, and maintain consistent pressure, protecting sensitive components and ensuring reliable operation. Think of it like giving your pneumatic system a healthy diet! Electropneumatic Systems: We’re also heavily involved in combining electric control with pneumatic power, offering sophisticated solutions for complex automation tasks. This allows for greater precision, flexibility, and control in applications like robotic gripping and positioning. Just like Renault invests in rigorous testing and quality control to ensure its vehicles perform flawlessly, we subject our components to the same level of scrutiny. We’re talking about extreme temperature testing, vibration testing, and millions of cycle tests to guarantee reliability in the harshest industrial environments. Looking Ahead IMI Norgren is committed to innovation and building strong partnerships. This collaboration with Renault is just one example of our dedication to exploring new ways to engage with our customers and highlight our commitment to quality and performance. “We’re excited about the possibilities this opens up,” says John Davis, IMI Norgren’s CEO. “We believe that by combining our engineering expertise with Renault’s rich automotive heritage, we can create something truly special.” We’re not stopping at collectibles either. We’re actively exploring potential collaborations with Renault on future automation projects, leveraging our combined expertise to develop cutting-edge solutions for the automotive industry and beyond.
