Italian car giant orders new range of automotive Quick Connectors designed for cooling systems
ARaymond*, a leading supplier of fastening and assembly solutions to car and truck manufacturers, has extended its product portfolio with the launch of Quick Connectors specially developed for cooling applications.
The first of these innovative Quick Connectors has already been specified by one of the largest Italian car manufacturer for its new car that will shortly go on sale in Middle East. These models will also be exported to more than 40 countries around the world.
ARaymond technicians in France, Italy and Turkey have worked closely with their Italian customer to validate the component, a process completed in September 2014, and then successfully introduce it to the supply chain for production platforms.
ARaymond hopes to strengthen its partnership with this major Italian car manufacturer in order to harness opportunities in some other international key markets such as Brazil.
The ARaymond Key Account Manager in charge of the project said: “At present the vast majority of our automotive Quick Connectors, around 75 per cent, are used in fuel systems. By developing a new range for cooling applications, we are now able to offer our customers even more fluid connection solutions.
“With our resources and worldwide network, ARaymond has the capability to help satisfy the growing global demand for this type of product and gain a significant share of the market.
“The development of Quick Connectors for applications other than fuel systems also puts us in a good position to supply the market for electric vehicles in the future.”
The new Quick Connector will be available in different endpiece diameters: the NW 16, the first version, is to be followed by the NW 14 and NW 32 versions in January 2016.
