Our manufacturing capability is really opening doors for us with some very exciting projects currently in progress.
One such project is the provision of our Automotive Sprung Loaded Castors which are 100% made in the UK by us.
Our client has an existing application where the castors were failing due to increased load demand. Our UK design engineers redesigned, improved and strengthened the castors while managing to save 15 kg off the unit weight (which was another client requirement).
We are proud that every aspect of this project has been completed by Coldene. This achievement is especially important because it now means we have the ability to compete with our European rivals.
ISO Container Castors T24
Our heavy duty 24-tonne container castors have undergone a design review after client feedback reported that the old design was heavy and therefore difficult to manoeuvre into position and attach to the ISO container. We have therefore added a jockey wheel and arm to aid the movement and positioning of the castor.. Heavy lugging is now a thing of the past.

Manufacturing Update
Our new polyurethane metering machine arrived 2 months ago and has now been fully commissioned and put into operation. Production has started on a number of key products including load rollers.
Coldene has been left star struck after supplying the UK Film industry with several sets of our 12 and 24 ton ISO Container castors. In true acting style, the castors aren’t actually fulfilling their intended purpose; instead their load capacity and high quality design has made them the perfect choice for a bespoke piece of equipment to be used on set.
We’re not claiming to have re-invented the wheel but there’s no doubt that material technology and wheel design is evolving faster than ever. Loads are getting larger, speeds are on the increase and everyone wants improved rolling resistance and durability. At Coldene, we like to make buying wheels and castors as easy as possible so our tech team are available to come and help you make the right selection from our wide range of products.
Matt Jones has been out demonstrating our hygienic load range. These appeal to pharmaceutical clients, particularly for use in clean rooms, but also for more standard requirements, especially when Matt shows how bacteria can move up a threaded stem!
Be ready for 2019: beat the rush!
WE would like to welcome to our team here at 
With uncertain trade tariffs and variable freight and exchange rates, Coldene is keen to become an established UK manufacturer. We are investing in tooling and machines to increase our portfolio and be able to meet all our customer needs.
Michael Dell has recently joined us here at Coldene, bringing a wealth of warehouse management and expertise with him. Michael is also a part time firefighter so will assist with our company health & safety requirements. He will also take the lead in our forthcoming ERP implementation programme.
We often supply retail outlets with goods that need to be presented for end user purchase with packaging which protects against sharp edges. Coldene now owns a skin packaging machine which seals products to a cardboard back and allows us to provide packaging branded for our customers. Those interested should call 01296 431135 to discuss.
We are delighted to announce that we have signed a supplier framework agreement with a major international medical equipment manufacturer. Coldene will be providing high- quality castors that are 100% made in Buckinghamshire, UK.
At Coldene, we pride ourselves on making it easy to buy wheels and castors. We’ve recently ramped up our stockholding to over 2 million products to ensure we can cater for the European factory shut-downs. If your current suppliers are struggling, give Coldene a call on 01296 431135.
We are currently speaking with suppliers about the implementation of a new ERP system to assist in our warehouse and dispatch areas. We plan to implement the system by the end of 2018. We’d be happy to speak to anyone with experience of a good system. All recommendations gratefully received.
The relationship between Coldene Castors and Cam Concepts has evolved, with our partners now helping out with our planned expansion in the manufacturing field. Cam Castors will set up and provide training to all staff who join our manufacturing division.
