Numalliance continues
growth with EMS deal
NUMALLIANCE, a manufacturer of CNC
cold forming equipment for wire, tube,
flat-stock and spring, has announced the
purchase of EMS (Electro Mécanique
Saverne). EMS specialises in the design
and production of machines for chip-
less end forming, and rotary and blade
cutting machines for tubes.
With this new acquisition Numalliance
extends its offering in tube processing
for various industries. The solutions
offered by Numalliance are used for
automotive (seating frames, exhaust),
point of purchase (supermarket carts,
display shelves), furniture, agriculture
applications and more.
Numalliance was the result of a
merger of three companies: Macsoft,
Latour and Satime. The company’s
strength is in its mechatronic expertise:
the hybridisation of mechanics and
the in-house development of its user-
friendly software. In October 2013
Numalliance integrated Silfax, an expert
in tube bending with a strong foothold in
the aeronautics industry.
EMS will benefit from the support of
Numalliance’s subsidiaries based in
China, Germany, India, Mexico, USA and
Slovakia,andalsoitsinternationalnetwork
of sales agents and sales engineers.
Numalliance generates more than 92
per cent of its sales outside France and
50 per cent outside Europe.
“With this acquisition, we keep extend-
ing our competences to offer our custom-
ers a global and fully integrated answer
to their needs with complementary and
compatible products,” said Joël Etienne,
CEO of Numalliance. “The addition of
EMS perfectly fits our company’s dynam-
ic motion and constant evolution. We set
our business internal and external growth
target high for the year to come.”

Shear blade
coating for
stainless
steel tube
HAVEN Manufacturing Corporation, in
co-operation with Tru-Cut Saw Inc, has
introducing a new cross-cut and shear
blade coating that improves blade life
when cutting austenitic stainless steels.
The new nano-composite PVD coating
that Tru-Cut Saw is using to increase the
life of circular saw blades is now available
for trial to Haven customers for their dual-
blade shear blades. The new coating,
called ViTA-Nano and developed by Tru-
Cut’s ICO Surface Coatings Division, is
a proprietary combination of titanium,
aluminium, aluminium-titanium, chrome
and silicon. Unlike multi-layer coatings
in which each material is deposited
consecutively, with ViTA-Nano all
cathodes in the PVD chamber are turned
on at once. This reportedly results in a
more cohesive, harder coating.
