Gestamp Tallent

Gestamp Tallent is a world class designer, developer and manufacturer of leading edge, innovative chassis and suspension products for the automotive industry. Targeting the high volume passenger, sport utility and light commercial vehicles, the company is the supplier of choice for many of the industry's biggest names, including: BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Volvo and the VW Group.

Following recent improvement work at the Aycliffe plant, the company created a new 45,500sq ft press hall. Against Gestamp Tallent’s output projections and the footprint available, a total of 5700 stillage locations were anticipated. However given the weight of the stillages to be stored on the racking, the maximum beam height was restricted to 17.5m; as a result Link51 installed 9 runs of VNA racking with P&D stations, providing a maximum capacity of 4500 stillage locations.
