Waldes Truarc® Retaining Rings: Circlips, Snap Rings & Spiral Rings
Building A Stronger Future with Waldes Truarc®
In 2009, we proudly welcomed Waldes Truarc into the Rotor Clip family. This acquisition wasn’t just about adding patents, trademarks, and logos to our portfolio—it was about continuing a legacy. We brought on board the original machinery, tooling, and quality documentation that had made Waldes Truarc a trusted name in the industry for decades. The acquisition also included the Industrial Retaining Ring (IRR) company, which had previously been integrated into Waldes, further enhancing our range of solutions. By bringing these assets under our wing, we ensured that the innovation and reliability Waldes was known for would thrive within our operations. This move allowed us to expand our capabilities and offer a wider range of solutions, all while maintaining the high standards both companies were built on.
