Bystronic and TTM Laser join forces with ByTube 130

BYSTRONIC has celebrated the official integration of TTM Laser into the Bystronic Group. The event also marked the opening of its new Experience Center and offered a first look at the new laser cutting system ByTube 130. The location, in Cazzago San Martino, Italy, will now be known as the Competence Center Tube Processing. TTM Laser was founded in 2001 and has specialised in the development of 2D and 3D laser systems for cutting tubes and profiles. After a partnership that began in 2017, in the past year Bystronic took over the company and its production site in order to supplement the group’s technology range in laser cutting solutions for tubes and profiles. The customers and guests attending were led directly into the production hall for the unveiling. This location is where the tube and profile laser cutting systems are built

before they are delivered from Italy to companies around the world in various industries – from automotive and agricultural machinery to construction and architecture. In his address, Alex Waser, CEO of the Bystronic Group, emphasised the important role of TTM Laser in the Bystronic portfolio: “The tube and profile processing technologies that we are developing in Cazzago San Martino are an important element. This modern production location and its employees afford ideal conditions. Therefore, we will concentrate our expertise in the area of tube and profile processing here.” The new Experience Center includes a modern showroom with around 3,200m 2 , where the newest technologies for tube

and profile processing will be presented in the future. For the formal inauguration a red ribbon was cut by Mr Waser and members of the executive board. Additionally, in the Bystronic tradition, two Swiss cowbells were presented. One bell was received by the German company Klöckner & Co. The other bell was given to Paolo Maccarana, director of the new Experience Center. Finally, sales director Stefano Dal Lago unveiled the new tube laser cutting system – ByTube 130. This is the first cutting system that TTM Laser and Bystronic will introduce to the market together as an official Bystronic product.
