Formtek becomes Nor th American distributor for Bossi and Milltech

FORMTEK, Inc, a US-based designer and builder of metal forming tooling, equipment, roll forming and tube and

pipe systems, has signed an agreement to become the exclusive North American distributor for Bossi Srl of Italy.

Bossi manufactures inline and secondary surface processing equipment for roll forming and tube mill systems. Formtek has integrated and supplied Bossi equipment on Yoder tube mills for customers in North America. “The equipment Bossi supplies is high quality, reliable and they have been a good company to work with,” stated Formtek sr vice president Jack Pennuto Jr. “Additionally, our customers have provided positive feedback using the machinery, so expanding our relationship to be their North American distributor seemed like a natural fit.” For both new installations and existing tube mills, Bossi’s bead grinding, strip polishing and OD processing equipment have opportunities for roll forming, precision tube and stainless steel tube producers in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Formtek is also now the exclusive North American distributor for Milltech, South Korea, a provider of turnkey solutions for complete ERW pipe plants up to 26". Milltech has been the worldwide licensee of Yoder cage forming technology for nearly 15 years. “Milltech has supplied numerous installations in North America and across the world; while leveraging our proven cage mill technology they continue to develop and improve the ERW pipe manufacturing process,” said Mr Pennuto. “It was a no-brainer to offer reciprocal support for Milltech equipment here in North America, where we can service and support their customers locally.” Milltech has recently developed new pipe threading equipment for API products, as well as a milling cut-off for pipe and hollow structural sections.
