OVER 27,000SQM MANUFACTURING
Arnott’s over 27,000sqm manufacturing plant is located in Merritt Island on Florida’s Space Coast. The facility is located on a 21-acre campus, just a few short miles from the Kennedy Space Centre and Port Canaveral, which offers the company an excellent gateway to global shipping and logistics.
Australian customers can order via 3 Points Classic, hsy and SWEA in Australia. Alternatively, the online ordering process is quick and easy with parts arriving 3-5 days after ordering, making the range of Arnott products as popular here as they
are internationally. For close to 35 years, the Arnott family has been the innovator in air suspension replacement products. Today, Arnott Inc.® is the global industry leader in manufacturing quality aftermarket replacement air suspension products and accessories.
The bustling facility includes a brand new 6,000sqm ‘Research and Development’ centre with test equipment, multiple auto lifts, a video and photography studio, and its own Mazak multi-tasking CNC machine for creating and testing new parts. In addition, Arnott houses an air-conditioned production facility which includes multiple Mazak Integrex series CNC machines.
The Integrex series offers the most advanced and sophisticated 5-axis CNC machines on the market and is an integral part of Arnott’s unparalleled production capabilities. These impressive, fully robotic machines eliminate multiple setups, improving and ensuring part integrity and efficiency.
The expansion and the addition of this sophisticated new machine facility enabled Arnott to not only increase productivity, but also improve on their already lofty quality control standards. For our testing we caught up with Andrew from Superior Auto Sports who was working on a 2011 Land Rover Discovery installing both Arnott front and rear air suspension along with a brand-new Arnott Compressor.
FITTING THE NEW AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
As most of you would have experienced over the years the risk with buying third party parts is that a lot simply just don’t fit or fit well, requiring time consuming customisation to get the parts to fit. Arnott’s engineers have put in the time, so you don’t have to.
Chatting with Andrew about the installation process of the new front and rear suspension he shared, “I loved the ease of fitting the Arnott air suspension, it went on without any of the dramas most of us have experienced before with other brands – which for a busy workshop is a dream scenario.”
Andrew continued: “The parts are engineered and assembled in the USA. You get an OE quality and fit. These guys have been doing air suspension for 30 years, it’s what they do and if you have any concerns if you haven’t used them before, all products come with a limited lifetime warranty which backs all air springs, struts, shocks, coil spring conversion kits and compressors.
IT’S ALL ABOUT COMPRESSION
If you have experienced dramas with compressors in the past, either being noisy or simply not being reliable or not working as expected, replacing yours could be just what you need to get that ride quality back again. “We see customers come in that have tried to use expensive repair kits on their compressors with almost no air being produced, when the best solution by far is simply replacing the compressor for an Arnott unit. The team at Arnott is great to deal with and know their products inside out. The Arnott products last longer due to their high quality and just fit better and allow for faster installations,” said Andrew.
THE WRAP UP
Once you have experienced the Arnott range and their way of doing business you will become a customer for life. They tick all the boxes that as a mechanic or workshop owner you want, from customer satisfaction to improved staff efficiencies and reduced installation times, and when your customers come back to you loving the improved performance and ride of their vehicle you will understand why the Arnott brand has been going from strength to strength over the last decade.
