After many years of close collaboration,
Brammer and leading chain manufacturer
Regina have solidified their relationship
through forming a unique partnership.
Brammer is the only UK distributor to have
been awarded this “one of a kind” supply
agreement, enabling the industrial supplies
specialist to stock and supply Regina’s
expansive range of table-top chains, modular

with new projects within the industrial and
food sectors which will pave the way for
further expansion in 2018.

conveyors since the 1980s, during which
time it has contributed significantly to
technological advancement in the sector.
Combining reliability with high-performance
materials, its range includes FliteTop ®
chains and modular belts, which will now be
available to new and existing customers of
Brammer.
Ian Dunkley, Managing Director of Bilfinger
Tebodin United Kingdom, who was appointed
in December 2016 commented, ’It’s been a
fantastic year for us with a ten-fold increase
in staff numbers, a move to a new office in
Warrington and an increasing order book
that bodes well for next year when we plan to
open a North East England office on Teesside.’
