The CIDAN Machinery Group offers a comprehensive machine portfolio from manual segment folding machines and modular machine solutions to systems for fully automated sheet metal profile production. The Group was founded in 1907 and has around 350 employees, three factories and four well-known brands: CIDAN (metal folders and metal shears) from Sweden, Forstner (coil lines), nuIT (software) from Austria and Thalmann (long folding machines) from Switzerland.

With the power and synergies of a flexible manufacturing group to support its customers, and over 116 years of combined history, CIDAN offers a wide range of solutions and products. At the EuroBLECH sheet metal exhibition in Hanover this October, it showcased its entire range of sustainable sheet metal processing equipment over an area of around 360m². This included modular machine solutions, systems for fully automatic sheet metal profile production and its self-developed, user-friendly software applications.

ISMR went to CIDAN Machinery’s stand at EuroBLECH to meet its CEO, Petter Hjelmqvist, and its Head of Industrial Sales, Joachim Schäfer. They shared the Group’s philosophy and strategy underpinning its innovation, sales and service initiatives with ISMR.
