Fontijne Grotnes
The Netherlands 16101
FONTIJNE Grotnes has developed over
the years into a specialist in the design and
construction of pipe-ends and full-length
pipe expanders for the pipe industry.
The Fontijne Grotnes Expander offers a
constant, reproducible process regarding
diameter and mechanical properties. The
design maximises the radial forces in
order to obtain maximum output in relation
to pipe dimensions. The pipe expander
process makes the welding of the pipeline
in the field, even for cut pipe sections,
much easier. The straightening system is
a special development of Fontijne Grotnes,
which is especially designed for small pipes
ranging from 16 to 30". This system controls
the straightness of the pipes in all directions
within ½-API- and DNV-standards.
In the metal forming industry Fontijne
Grotnes designs and builds production lines
for a vast range of markets, including large-
scale producers of domestic appliances
such as dishwashers. In addition, Fontijne
Grotnes is involved in a variety of other
industrial processes in the aerospace and
forging and wind power industry.

Formitt Metal Labs
USA/Europe 5067
THE Formitt Metal Labs division of Hess
Industries Inc now offers tube spinforming
and flowforming contract services.
Formitt was created specifically to support
product development for a variety of
industries, offering development, prototyping
and production runs that utilise patented
technologies to form tube ends while
eliminating welding of end-cones.
Formitt Metal Labs uses spinforming,
flowforming and assembly technologies
to create hollow tube symmetrical and
asymmetrical shapes, fabrications, and
assemblies using tubing in both ferrous and
non-ferrous metals, including stainless and
high alloy steels.
By eliminating the need to weld end-cones
to a tube, spinforming technology enhances
overall component quality, reliability and cost.
Formitt hollow tube fabricated assemblies
may include the insertion of filtration
elements, heat exchange components,
catalytic elements, or others.
Formitt metal tube spinforming technologies
are currently being used in the automotive,
HVAC, filtration, marine and other industries.
