Hess Industries announces global collaboration called Metal Smart HESS Industries Inc, USA, a global engineering firm and manufacturer of metal forming machines, cells, and integrated systems, has formed a collaboration with Repkon, Turkey, a designer and manufacturer of advanced metal forming equipment with emphasis on flow forming, shear forming and hot-spinning technologies. The strategic alliance of the two companies, named Metal Smart™, will provide customers with innovative metal forming solutions worldwide. “Thinking outside the traditional business model boundaries, both geographically and technologically, is what brought us together,” said Roxanne Lauer, CEO of Hess Industries. “We want to fulfil the goal of finding performance-driven, world- class technological solutions for our customers regionally and competitively.” Metal Smart will offer customers greater resources for metal forming through the ability to create complete systems utilising innovative research and development, prototyping and service and support on a global scale. Metal Smart provides manufacturing capabilities for a wide range of industries, beyond the traditional production domains typically served by either Hess or Repkon individually. For more than three decades Hess Industries has designed and manufactured metal forming and welding equipment for the production of various automotive, white goods and HVAC components, including wheels, catalytic converters and various other circular, tubular and sheet metal parts. Repkon was founded in 1978 with strong engineering/ design capabilities attributable to know-how in flow forming, shear forming, hot spinning and hydraulic press technologies. The company has supplied tailored solutions to industries such as defence, aerospace, oil and gas, pipe, pressurised gas and automotive.
