TII Lands Bus Account Close to Home

     Madison, AL — Triana Industries Incorporated (TII) was recently awarded business from North American Bus Industries, Inc. (NABI, Inc.), a bus manufacturing corporation with a final assembly plant headquartered in Anniston, Alabama. According to TII’s Chief Operating Officer, Leroy Cole, TII will produce cable assemblies used in the bus’ electrical distribution system. TII will manufacturer and deliver approximately thirty-three different cables for each bus unit assembled in the north Alabama plant. The account valued at approximately four hundred thousand dollars annually will help further diversify TII’s core business which is mainly wiring harness assemblies and electromechanical components used in the manufacturing and assembly of four-wheel, passenger vehicles. TII began producing the cable assemblies for NABI in August of 2001. TII President & CEO Ralph Malone welcomes the new business and seeks to further develop the relationship between the two Alabama companies with hopes to grow the account by meeting and exceeding NABI requirements in all areas including quality, cost, delivery and service.

     A recent facility expansion has allowed TII to designate a generous portion of their 80K square feet of manufacturing space to NABI production without effecting existing customer requirements. As a QS-9000/ISO 9002 certified minority supplier, founded in 1972, TII is well on their way to becoming a leader in the manufacturing of wire harnesses, cable and lead assemblies and other electromechanical components. Some of TII's major customers include Daimler-Chrysler, Yazaki, Lear, and Carrier.
