Design & Prototyping
Renvale’s design engineers have over 100 years of combined experience, we can guarantee a seamless journey through every aspect of the design process.
Design engineers are on hand to help through every stage of the design process, creating a streamlined strategy to quickly bring your project to life. We can take your drawings and modify them into the desired format, or draw from the ground up. We commit to taking all the hard work out of our client’s hands and create a seamless journey to production.
Our integrated design toolset incorporates the latest software from AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Visio. This along with our years of experience enables us to easily develop traditional wiring harnesses, all the way through to incredibly complex enclosures and the latest high voltage systems for battery powered vehicles.
All drawings are fully checked and guaranteed to be error free. 3D dynamic wiring harness simulation finally enables us to check each harness fits perfectly into the vehicle structure. We then generate the bill of materials and wire cut lists, maintaining maximum efficiency through the entire process, leading to optimized harness development and a reduction in lead times.
Unrivalled Quality
Our dedicated quality control team have all undergone an unrivalled training programme which forms the benchmark within the industry.
Every Renvale wiring harness undergoes an industry leading, rigorous 40-point quality control check procedure by our dedicated test and inspection technicians.
Firstly, during the initial design stage, the need for line inspections are initially identified and finalised during prototyping, identifying any potential points, such as splices and transitions.
The wiring harness then undergoes a full visual and dimensional check before moving onto Hi-Pot testing with the latest Cirris harness test equipment. Our department utilizes two state of the art Cirris testers configured to check up to 3200 points, customers can also specify voltage specific testing from 10 to 1500V.
A full record is kept of every automotive wiring harness we produce, giving you the peace of mind, it can be returned at any point for servicing, then tested to the same standard it was when first manufactured. We also offer our full 40-point quality control check procedure for 3rd party and in-service harnesses.
After our extensive 40-point test procedure we guarantee each wiring harness conforms to its exact specification and is ready to work straight out of the box.
Texense Sensors
Our partner company Texense, designs and manufactures World class, high accuracy embedded sensors. Texense has worked in close collaboration with some of the most innovative and prestigious brands, including, Ariane Space, Airbus and Ferrari.
Renvale’s association with Texense sensors dates back to the early 1990s. Destiny, as two of the World’s leading motorsport brands pull together to create a unified solution.

The Texense range includes a multitude of temperature sensors, aerodynamics and inertial sensors, through to CAN converters and force measurement systems. All are uniquely packaged with a winning combination of accuracy and reliability. Our dedicated strain gauging department relies on highly experienced technicians and the latest Instron tension/compression calibration equipment. We can provide a very high accuracy of ± 0.5% and a fast turn-around on parts.
Every Texense product has been used and tested in the highest levels of motorsport, one of the most punishing environments known to man, we can guarantee every Texense sensor will remain reliable and accurate in any application.
Situated in the same facility as Renvale is partner company Texys UK are sole UK distributors of Texense Sensors. Texys UK has recently partnered with micro-sensor manufacturer Sensorade and is now an official UK distributor. Sensorade designs and manufactures the world’s smallest most advanced pressure sensors. The products have been developed to integrate better within structures and offer less flow disruption during testing. For more information on Sensorade, please click here.
