York Transport Equipment Asia, a Singapore-head?quartered trailer under-gear manu?facturer, is re-jigging its global manufacturing capabilities, concen?trating its global manufacturing in India and China. It is setting up a second plant in China to cater to the export market while the existing plant will focus on the domestic China market.

As a first step towards conso?lidation, York will move all its manu?facturing in India to its six month old plant at Talegaon, near Pune, from Jamshedpur. It will set up a new plant, its second, in China which will be similar to its Talegaon plant to address global markets.

Singapore used to have two manufacturing plants of which one was shut down in 2007, after TRF acquired the company and moved that manufacturing to Jamshedpur.

York is a subsidiary of TRF, a material handling systems and equi?pment provider company part of the Tata group. York makes trailer axles, suspensions and other compo?nents that comprise trailer under-gear.
