Excellent first quarter results for Tubefab

ordered from Tubefab include an all- electric CNC rotating head machine for right-hand and left-hand bending, a multi- axis double headed symmetrical bending machine (which also incorporates an innovative metal punching solution), twin- stack electric push and draw bending machines and a number of ‘standard’ 3-axis machines. Tubefab’s first quarter successes follow on from several CSM machine sales that the business secured with high performance exhaust, DPS and catalytic converter manufacturers over recent months. “Today’s drive for reduced packing space in engine bays, greater diameter exhaust systems and rapid catalytic converter warm up times are all fuelling the demand for highly precise tight diameter bends – something which the robust build and precision capabilities of CSM machines provide,” added

TUBEFAB, the UK-based tube forming technology specialist, has announced first quarter trading results that exceed its total turnover in 2014. The business, which is associated with the Addison Machinery Group, puts its sales successes down to providing excellent customer service and the growing number of organisations investing in tube bending machines from the CSM range. “When we began offering CSM (Chiao Sheng Machinery) tube bending and end forming machines in the UK, we realised that CSM had something very special to offer,” said Tubefab’s managing director, Alan Price. Over the last few months Tubefab has received machine orders from a sub-contract tube bending specialist, a leading producer of robotic milking equipment and a central heating boiler manufacturer.

Mr Price. One prominent exhaust and catalytic converter manufacturer has also invested in a 100mm tube diameter 1-D boost bending solution from Tubefab – an investment that is enabling it to meet the growing demand for tighter bends on larger diameter stainless steel systems and attracting interest from premier automotive manufacturers. The sectors served by Tubefab’s technologies encompass the automotive industry, aviation, shipbuilding, furniture making, HVAC, and the oil and gas industries.
