JET PRESS Named UK & Ireland Distributor for LISI Industrial Solutions

LISI Industrial Solutions, part of LISI AUTOMOTIVE, has appointed JET PRESS Ltd as its preferred distributor for the UK and Ireland.

LISI Industrial Solutions has appointed JET PRESS Ltd as its preferred distributor for the United Kingdom and Ireland, strengthening support for OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and advanced manufacturers across the region. The agreement enhances access to LISI’s high-performance fastening solutions through JET PRESS’s established engineering and distribution network.

The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared commitment to technical quality and long-term customer support. Part of the LISI GROUP, founded in 1777, with nearly 250 years of industrial expertise, LISI Industrial Solutions has grown into a global specialist in high-value assembly solutions and safety-critical components for next-generation mobility. With 19 production sites in nine countries and annual output exceeding 7.5 billion parts, the company supports global manufacturers.

JET PRESS, established in 1977 and based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, is recognised for its expertise in distributing engineered fasteners and components. Holding more than 80 million stocked items across 20,000 product lines, the company supplies customers throughout the UK, Ireland, and international markets in the automotive, industrial, medical, and specialist engineering sectors. Its combination of extensive inventory, engineering support and responsive service has made it a trusted partner to manufacturers seeking reliable distribution.

Both companies view the partnership as a timely response to rapid change in modern manufacturing. Original Equipment Manufacturers and their supply chain need partners who can combine product availability with technical insight and agile logistics. Bringing together LISI’s global manufacturing capability with JET PRESS’s regional expertise creates a distribution model designed to meet these evolving needs.

Under the agreement, JET PRESS will manage all sales, customer service, and stockholding for the LISI Industrial Solutions portfolio in the UK and Ireland. This includes threaded fasteners, clipped solutions, mechanical safety, hydraulic brake assemblies and fastening solutions for interior and exterior trim applications. Customers will benefit from reduced lead times, local technical support, and streamlined commercial processes, whilst retaining full access to LISI’s innovations for automotive, industrial vehicle, commercial transport, and specialist machinery markets.

A spokesperson for LISI Industrial Solutions said, "This partnership represents an important step in how we support customers in the UK and Ireland. The region plays a significant role in automotive innovation and advanced manufacturing, and working with a distributor of JET PRESS’s calibre allows us to strengthen product availability and the depth of technical support we can provide. Their engineering expertise, customer focus and established market presence make them an ideal partner as we support the industry’s transition toward more sustainable and sophisticated vehicle technologies."

Richard Johnson, Managing Director of JET PRESS, added: "We are proud to become LISI Industrial Solutions' preferred distributor for the UK and Ireland. LISI’s heritage of innovation and commitment to quality align closely with our own values and those of our customers.

This partnership expands our product offering whilst enabling us to deliver world-class fastening solutions backed by local expertise and responsive support. It represents an exciting opportunity for both companies and for the customers we serve."

Both organisations will work closely to ensure a smooth transition for existing customers and to introduce the expanded product range to new sectors. The partnership forms a strong foundation for future growth in a manufacturing environment that demands technical capability, supply chain resilience and collaborative problem-solving.
