The watchword for German-headquartered sheetmetal machine tool company TRUMPF has always been ‘innovation’. And that’s not just semantics. TRUMPF invests around 8% of sales revenue per annum on research and development, and that currently equates to over 100 million Euros per year focussed on improvement and innovation.

As a clear world leader in its field, TRUMPF has introduced a constant stream of innovation to its product line-up which includes CNC Punching Machines, CNC Press Brakes, CNC Laser Cutting and Laser Welding Machines. TRUMPF also has a rapidly growing market for its range of portable cutting, fastening and bevelling power tools.

TRUMPF’s iconic CNC Punching Machines lead the world with their German-inspired design and precision engineering. From entry level CNC Punching Machines to advanced Sheetmetal Fabrication Centres capable not only of punching and nibbling but also sophisticated forming, TRUMPF has the solution for any fabricator wanting to boost productivity and quality.

Since the introduction of its first Flatbed Laser Cutting Machine in 1987 the sheetmetal fabrication industry has undergone massive changes. Keeping pace with those changes and staying ahead of the game has been a challenge which TRUMPF has not only met, but exceeded. Today, TRUMPF is the unrivalled leader in Laser Cutting technology and applications.

Laser welding is without doubt the way of the future for high volume, quality-critical applications. It’s also one of TRUMPF’s fastest growth technologies. And with the range of machines available from TRUMPF it’s more affordable than you might think for even small to mid size sheetmetal shops to cost-effectively enjoy the benefits of high welding speeds, negligible distortion and clean, oxide-free seams.

Automation in sheetmetal fabrication is gaining ground globally on a rapid basis, and the reasons are obvious. First, automation dramatically reduces cost per part. The more automation, the more the cost per part goes down, and output goes up, resulting in more profit on the bottom line. Second, automation compensates for the skilled labour shortage, a situation likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

TRUMPF has an automated solution for just about every sheetmetal process imaginable. And these days automation isn’t just for big companies, the economies available also put it firmly within the grasp of small to medium-sized companies.

When it’s about sheetmetal manufacturing, it’s just got to be TRUMPF. The name says it all...
