K T R Couplings Ltd

About us
Since 1959 KTR has gone from being a relatively small manufacturer in Germany to having over 20 well-established subsidiaries around the world, making it one of the only coupling manufacturers in the world with its own global sales and service network, research and development facilities and in house engineering expertise.

KTR Couplings Ltd opened in Sheffield in 1999 to provide a better service and more local contact to its existing and future customer base in the UK and Ireland. The company is well equipped to find cost effective solutions for all power transmission needs, not only with standard couplings, but also in providing solutions for customers' individual technical requirements by modifying stock parts or producing prototypes for bespoke situations.

There are over 30,000 different products available from stock, with the KTR company product catalogue  showing only 40% of the product range considered as standard products. The remaining 60% are manufactured to their customers' requirements.

Other areas of expertise include hydraulic components - including bellhousings, damping elements, oil coolers, tank heaters and accessories; steel tanks - either standard off the shelf or bespoke tanks; torgue limiters; torgue measurement and clamping elements. 

KTR is widely considered as the driving force behind the development of the worldwide coupling market producing world class power transmission components. The company supply to a wide range of markets sectors including construction, industrial pumps, marine, hydraulics, rail and wind turbine technology, power machines and power transmission.

Logistics
Having continuous access to the computer network of our head office in Germany, means we can always monitor and progress each order and its delivery ex-works date is always controlled to secure the requested delivery time. We have a new logistics centre able to cope with the movement of large quantities of product. Our own warehouse with the best stocking policy is able to cope with any urgent demands. We are working closely with selected distribution outlets within the UK to improve our service and lead times. Our sophisticated logistics control always ensures the right delivery on time every time.

Quality assurance
Incoming goods from Germany undergo strict dimensional and visual inspection prior to despatch. All products are produced in accordance with a vast range of certification from ISO 9001:2000-12 to ATEX standards. We have our own in house testing facilities and should you require it we are able to provide you with Certificates of conformity or other certification, providing it is requested at order placement.

Environmental Issues
Nowadays, obtaining a qualification to ISO14000 series is becoming quite common among industries. We often take enquiries from our customers about the materials used in the production of our products. We are able to offer this information to you as part of our quality assurance procedure.
