Sunseeker is an iconic, global brand synonymous with the ultimate in marine luxury. From the overall design of the boat’s hull and the high-performance of its powerful engine to the exquisite craftsmanship of the interior and the quality of its tiniest components, Sunseeker is always in the pursuit of excellence and innovation.
One of Sunseeker’s key supply partners is TR Fastenings, with which it has worked closely for many years. A manufacturer and supplier of industrial fasteners and fixings, TR Fastenings is well positioned to supply Sunseeker with a vast range of fasteners and chandlery fittings.
TR Fastenings prides itself on the service and support it is able to offer and works closely with Sunseeker to help save time and reduce costs. “We aim to tailor the most efficient solution for Sunseeker,” explains Jerry Howe, general manager of TR Fastenings’ marine division. “Whether for boat fastener kits for gearboxes, exhausts, trim tabs and water inlets, brass buzz bars for the electrical division, chandlery fittings or small value, ‘high hassle’ items such as brackets, caps and hinges.”
Corrosion is a major consideration too and TR is able to supply Sunseeker with suitable non-corrosive parts, including a new MT3510 organic finish black screw – with the benefit of a 240 hour salt spray test for protection. Similarly, TR’s new range of strong, lightweight and non-corrosive plastic cable management and wiring accessories provide the ideal water resistant solution for Sunseeker. Manufactured in high-performance and versatile nylon 6 and nylon 6/6, TR’s plastics range includes UL-approved nylon cable ties, push mounts and screw mount cable ties, knot ties and releasable cable ties. In addition, TR offers a range of self-adhesive and push mount plastic fasteners and standard injection-moulded fasteners.
“TR’s marine division, based in Poole, Dorset, is ideally situated to service the Sunseeker sites with fasteners and other add-on products,” comments Nick Low, procurement manager at Sunseeker International. “Its portfolio has grown with the business to become one of our key suppliers, and with its product knowledge and direct support of our staff at all levels, it meets our demanding production needs. We rely on TR, not only to supply our production fasteners, but also special and bespoke parts that can often make a huge difference.”
