new opportunities for many of our customers.” With the addition of PBT machines to its range, Addison Tube Division now offers an extensive choice of profile bending, mandrel and non-mandrel tube bending machines in the UK. Addison’s CSM tube benders include basic three-axis hydraulic models through to highly sophisticated, 11- axis, all-electric machines. The CSM 100TDRE-RBE is able to produce tight radius thin-wall 1xd bends on larger diameter stainless steel tube. Addison Saws Ltd – UK Email: sales@addisonsaws.co.uk Website: www.addisonsaws.co.uk

Swiss-based PBT manufactures profile bending technologies for aluminium, stainless steel and steel profiles. Its machines are used across a large number of sectors, including automotive manufacturing, construction, aerospace, the windows industry, and furniture making. “We are extremely pleased to have secured the UK distributor rights for PBT’s internationally recognised profile bending technologies,” commented Addison Group managing director Gary Knight. “In appointing us, PBT identified closely with our ethos of helping customers find the very best solutions to their manufacturing challenges, through technologies sourced from the global market place, and all supported by the highest levels of customer service. PBT’s machines will dovetail perfectly with our tube bending and end forming technologies from leading Taiwanese manufacturer CSM.” Employing high levels of functionality and triple-roller bending technology, PBT machines cold-form both aluminium and steel profiles in an energy- efficient manner. PBT profile bending technologies range from the Arkus 12 ® compact machine that bends even small aluminium and steel profiles to tight radii, to larger, heavy duty machines such as the PBT35 ® and Helix ® models, which are suited to more challenging applications, including profiles for use in plant and vehicle manufacturing, materials handling, construction and architectural needs. The company also builds bespoke profile bending machines to meet demanding manufacturing requirements. “The PBT Arkus 12 profile bender has already generated considerable interest from Addison customers across the automotive, windows, technology and metal manufacturing sectors,”
