TensionPro has expanded its workforce to satisfy export lead demand, particularly from the global wind energy sector, for its innovative range of bolt tensioners. Overall year-on-year export sales have increased by 40%.
Four new positions have been created in the last 12 months to boost the company's engineering design, internal sales, export and logistics departments. The new recruits bring with them a wealth of experience in customer relationship management, as well as specialist knowledge in areas like export legislation and Finite Element Analysis, used to predict how components react to stress.

As well supplying all types of hydraulic bolt tensioners, hydraulic nuts, pumps, hoses and ancillary equipment, the company provides specialist tools for bolt load measurement.
