to better serve their customers.
“We selected PARTsolutions following a thorough review of technology
available in the market today,” said Don Peters, Executive V.P. and General

“Along with all that Tennessee Rand has to offer in the way of services, we
offer custom products to meet specific tooling needs, including products
that assist us in designing and building our tooling and fixtures, and now
we offer these devices to our customers digitally to incorporate easily into

Tennessee Rand a market leader in the design, manufacture, and support of
pneumatic clamping products, retract devices, and accessories for assembly

PARTsolutions will Web-enable the Tennessee Rand collection of assembly
automation products, allowing prospective customers to graphically configure
components with the size, features, and options they need. Once configured,
PARTsolutions creates high quality, native CAD data including the accurate
Tennessee Rand part number, which is downloaded by the design engineer.
The Tennessee Rand line of manufacturing process products will be available
in native and neutral 2D & 3D CAD formats utilizing the latest technology
from PARTsolutions. Downloading Tennessee Rand products in native CAD
