Unison's all-electric bending machines are used for precision manufacturing of tubular parts in a diversity of markets, including automotive, aerospace, marine, oil and gas, energy, custom products and many other processing equipment sectors.
Unison has opened its own service and sales office in Asheville, NC.
Unison, a UK-headquartered tube and pipe bending machinery designer and manufacturer, is expanding its presence in North America by opening a direct service and sales office in Asheville, NC. The company's investment comes on the back of significantly increased sales in the U.S., which grew by more than 100% in its last financial year.
Unison has been active in the U.S. market since 1999. Initially operating through a specialist distributor, Unison recently decided to establish its own U.S. operation to ensure that its existing and future customer base has access to and is supported by the company's own personnel located within the same time zone.
According to Unison's Head of Sales Stuart Singleton, "Virtually everything that Unison makes is customized, and very close cooperation with clients is key to our business model. Many fabricators and OEMs are currently migrating from older style hydraulic tube benders to more efficient all-electric technology, and our new regional office will help Unison to configure and deliver the most flexible and efficient solutions for users' needs. We already have personnel in the U.S. 75% of the time, installing new machines and servicing our installed base, so it makes sense that they are located there permanently."
Unison aims to expand its U.S. presence rapidly, as Singleton pointed out, "In terms of driving sales, we are actively seeking specialist agencies to work with from both a geographical and market sector viewpoint and would be pleased to hear from anyone who believes that they can add value to our offer."
Unison's all-electric machines are used by tubular part manufacturers requiring high precision, and producing parts in smaller batches and using expensive materials. Its key markets include aerospace, automotive, marine, energy, oil and gas, custom products and many other processing equipment sectors.
