Founded in 1981

History

Originally known as Wright Products, the company was founded in 1981 producing a variety of trailer accessories which included air tanks. In the years that followed, it became evident that there was a substantial market need for air tanks; therefore, the company devoted its attention mainly to air reservoirs.

Following the acquisition of Wright Products during 1994 by the family-owned business Trenkamp & Gehle, located in North West Germany and the subsequent transfer to Gigant UK Ltd in 1997. A major investment program was undertaken into the air reservoir production, leading to the company evolving into the UK market leader for air reservoirs.

Following the sale of Gigant Germany to the Krone group, a decision to change the name of the company in the UK was taken. The new name T&G Automotive Ltd. reflects a historical connection to the founding company Trenkamp & Gehle.
