Pemamek German subsidiary to help grow tube welding customer base in country

TO reinforce its local presence, and bring its welding services closer to its customers, Pemamek has opened a daughter company in Germany. The official subsidiary, Pemamek GmbH, will be led by the newly hired sales director, Oliver Decker. The subsidiary, active since April 2021, is strategically located in the center of Germany, in Bad Arolsen. “We are currently in a strong growth phase and by opening a daughter com- pany to a potential market area, we can support our future growth. Being locally present and close to our customer in selected areas is also a part of our

long-term business strategy,” said Juha Mäkitalo, the CEO of Pemamek Ltd. “We already have a strong global presence in certain sectors, such as shipbuilding. Now, with the new opening, we aim to grow our market share in other segment,” Mr Mäkitalo continues, “We’re excited to have Oliver [Decker] joining the ranks of Pemamek, as he has a long experience in machine sales and profound knowledge from the German markets.” According to the new sales director of Pemamek GmbH, Oliver Decker, PEMA solutions have great potential

in the markets, thanks to their modern automation technology and high quality. “I am looking forward to improving Pemamek’s position in the German markets and developing the customer base. There is a lot of unused potential for PEMA products and solutions, so I’m sure that by being local, we can make an even bigger impact,” said Mr Decker. Pemamek will also continue maintaining and developing its local partner network and agents in Germany.

Pemamek www.pemamek.com Exhaust manufacturer selects Unison tube bending machine for the Nürburgring

A BRITISH-built Unison Breeze all- electric tube bending machine will soon be assisting Milltek Sport Ltd in exhaust prototyping and development work at Germany’s Nürburgring racetrack.

Derbyshire-based Milltek invested in its first Unison Breeze machine, a 76mm (maximum tube diameter) capability single-stack model, almost ten years ago in order to achieve the superior accuracy, repeatability, control and reliability that Unison’s all-electric CNC machines are renowned for. A second Unison Breeze machine, an 80mm multi-stack tube bender, then followed in 2017. This latest Unison Breeze machine to be purchased by Milltek – an 80mm single-stack model – will be located at Milltek Sport GmbH, the company’s

recently opened €1.5mn development and testing centre in Nürburg. It will be used for exhaust system research and development, small production runs for some of the world’s leading high- performance cars, and custom tube manipulation work for several race teams. With its roots embedded in the demands of the aerospace sector, the 80mm Breeze offers rapid setup, fast tooling changes, exceptional power, rigid mechanical design, and all-electric control for right-first-time repeatability. These are all attributes that Unison believes make the 80mm Breeze the ultimate tube-manipulation machine for businesses specialising in small batch production runs. As Milltek only uses highly robust T304L stainless steel for its exhaust products, the all-electric Breeze’s ability to successfully complete tight bends in thin wall tube down to 1D radius, as required for many of today’s high performance exhaust systems, was also a key factor in the decision to purchase.
