HGG was looking for a way to bring its new generation of pipe cutting machinery,

Ficep, Italy, has announced exclusive product cooperation with HGG, the Netherlands, which will involve the joint supply of the Pro Cutter to the worldwide structural steel industry. Ficep is a leading machine building company supplying the structural steel industry. The company has recently experienced the increased use of tubulars in the structural steel industry. In addition to the bigger projects of stadiums and bridges, the variety of smaller projects holding tubular structures is increasing every year.

An increasing number of fabricators are being required to undertake complex pipe cutting. This concern led Ficep to seek the expertise of HGG Profiling Equipment, a leading manufacturer in the field of pipe cutting. HGG Profiling Equipment was looking for a way to bring its new generation of pipe cutting machinery, the Pro Cutter, to the market. The two companies decided to join forces to market and sell the Pro Cutter. The Pro Cutter is customized to the structural steel industry, with all relevant new technologies integrated into this new

Covering an outside diameter range of 50- 610mm, the Pro Cutter can process pipe lengths of 12,000mm. It can cut centric/ eccentric slots, chamfers, saddles and multiple saddles. Programming is available through connections to the obvious software systems in the structural steel industry like X-Steel – Tekla structures.
