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.
