Tratos are delighted to announce our partecipation at the TOC EUROPE 2014, 24/26 June at ExCel, London, UK and invite you to visit our stand D54.

After your long hard day at the exhibition we invite you to come relax, socialise and network with us and others on our stand on the 24th and 25th at 5.00pm when the party hour will start with italian appetizers and beer.

The TOC Container Supply Chain exhibition and conference is the global meeting place for ports, terminals, shipping lines, 3PLs & shippers and is a showcase for port and terminal technology and operations. Tratos has enjoyed considerable success in this market place with its Tratosflex specialist cable range, which includes monospiral and multi-spiral reeling, festoons and spreaders.

Tratosflex can supply power, control and signalling including fibre-optic cables operating on high speed applications up to 300 mt/min.

With this article we would like to remember Juergen Pollmann a great friend of ours and a master of life.  
He put his experiences and knowledge to the service of  our magazine, helping us to understand many technical subjects relating to reeling drum and crane cables.
We will miss Juergen and his efforts, rectitude and intellectual honesty.
Juergen left this world on May 2014.

Requiesca in pace.

Tratos Ltd. was proud to welcome Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to its plant in Knowsley, Merseyside last month. The Deputy PM’s visit on the 10th April follows on from the awarding of a Regional Growth Fund (RGF) grant to Tratos, to see how the fund is helping to rebalance the economy. Tratos was one of 18 companies to be awarded an RGF grant in the North West in Round 4 of bidders.
The grant of nearly £3 million was awarded to Tratos to invest in and strengthen its manufacturing site in Knowsley and protect and potentially create further jobs in the area – on of the most deprived local authorities in the UK. The grant, which is the largest awarded in Merseyside from this scheme, will help ensure the long term survival of Tratos - one of the last remaining cable manufacturers in the country.

Tratos is pleased to announce the launch of Tratos Australia. Based in Tamworth, NSW, Tratos Australia has been established to further develop and support the company’s presence in this market, with an emphasis on the oil & gas and mining sectors.
John O’Rourke, an experienced businessman with extensive in-depth knowledge of the Australian cable industry, has been appointed to run Tratos Australia. John worked for cable manufacturer Draka for over ten years, three as a Mining Consultant, making him Tratos’ ideal choice for this new venture.
John will be promoting the full range of Tratos cables into Australia, with an initial focus on oil & gas and mining markets, for which Tratos has developed a number of quality, niche cables.
