The largest independent marine dealer event in North America is just around the corner, and you won’t want to miss this year’s show! The Marine Dealer Conference & Expo is a must-attend for industry leadership and an unparalleled opportunity to mingle with others in the field. Transhield is excited to be dropping anchor in Orlando, Florida, from December 9-12, and extends a hearty invitation to come aboard and meet the crew in Booth 531/533!

A growing number of manufacturers are realizing substantial financial and environmental benefits by adopting sustainable business practices. Sustainable manufacturing helps minimize a company’s negative impact on the environment while conserving energy and natural resources, along with reducing costs and cutting waste. In their ongoing efforts at shifting processes and products to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly, Transhield has successfully trialed a revolutionary system to recycle their groundbreaking Transhield Shrinkable Fabric®.

Transhield protects equipment against the forces of nature by providing the most advanced protective cover technology in the industry, conducting in-depth research on corrosion, and managing the entire protection process, start to finish.

At Transhield, one of our favorite things to do is meet new customers in person and make deeper connections in the key industries we are so proud to serve. That’s why this year’s International Boatbuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) is such an exciting event for our team. We are looking forward to exhibiting our protective covers and networking with professionals in the marine industry!

At Transhield, one of our favorite things to do is meet new customers in person and make deeper connections in the key industries we are so proud to serve. That’s why this year’s WindEnergy Hamburg Expo is such an exciting event for our team. We are exhibiting several key products at this huge expo and looking forward to networking with professionals in the wind energy industry!

The AASHTO Annual Meeting is right around the corner, and the Transhield team is ecstatic about participating as an exhibitor this year. Providing the ideal venue for stakeholders in the transportation sector to network, learn about policies, and explore the latest in industry innovations, the 2018 AASHTO Annual Meeting will be held in Atlanta, Georgia September 20-24 at the Westin Peachtree Hotel.

Vehicles and heavy-duty equipment of all kinds benefit from having a protective covering during transport or storage—but the cover in question is only as good as its fit. That’s where the innovative work of the Transhield design team shines. Its reputation is built on producing custom quality products while always embracing a spirit of innovation—something that recently became evident when Transhield purchased a 3D scanner to do advanced patterning work.

The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is coming to Chicago September 10-15. Transhield is happy to announce that we will be participating in this year’s event from Booth #121463, in the East Building, Level 2.

IMTS is America's largest display and demonstration of global manufacturing technology, with more than 115,000 projected attendees from the manufacturing industry as well as influencers in medicine, automotive, aerospace, and other fields. The show welcomes buyers and sellers from 117 countries. This year’s show marks the 32nd year, and a notable percentage of attendees say they have been successful in finding specific products or solving manufacturing problems.

For decades, the most environmentally conscious among us touted the benefits of replacing our goods—and then recycling them. This sound plan has recently come to a somewhat screeching halt, however, as China has imposed new import restrictions impacting recyclers. As a result, those with an eye on both the health of the environment and on the bottom line are embracing a new approach: repairing materials and equipment instead of replacing it to save time and money.

 Machinery breakdowns can be a major expense. Some breakdowns are easily fixed with a spare part but others require hours or days to repair. The one type of damage that is most often overlooked yet easily prevented is environmental damage. UV rays cause degradation of exteriors which lead to corrosion. Dirt and dust cause sensitive components to malfunction. Environmental damage can take a machine out of commission and cause delays in production which increases the financial loss exponentially. In the case of the military, if an asset isn’t mission ready, it could mean a life or death situation. Watch below to learn more.
