Scarborough engineering firm Unison has signed a deal that will see it become a key supplier to the US Government.
Unison has signed an exclusive distributor agreement with Phillips Corporation in MAryland, the company is the principal service provider and manufacturing partner to the United States Federal Government.
The agreement means that all US Federal Government requirements for tube bending, pipe bending and end forming machines, that are received by Phillips Federal, will be built by Unison Ltd in the UK and supplied by Unison’s Virginia-based North American division.
Unison joint managing director, Alan Pickering said:
“We are delighted to have been chosen by Phillips Corporation – Federal Division as their official provider of tube bending, pipe bending and end forming machinery for US Federal Government civil, military and aerospace applications,”
“Our reputation as inventors of ultra-precise, all-electric tube bending machines was a major factor in Phillips Federal appointing us, as was our ability to purpose-build tube and pipe manipulation technologies for many of the world’s most demanding manufacturing applications.
“We are honoured that Phillips Corporation – Federal Division recognises the quality and capabilities of Unison machines and look forward to supplying the US Federal sector.”
Phillips Federal’s Product Manager John Murray said:
“Phillips Corporation – Federal Division is proud to partner with Unison Ltd,”
“Partnering with Unison Ltd allows us to provide our customers with the finest options available in the tube and pipe bending market.
“Their capability and track record with our European allies and international markets make them an integral part of our comprehensive machine tool offering to the US Department of Defense and US Government agencies.
“With right-first-time bending technologies, user-friendly dedicated controls and outstanding customer service, Unison Ltd demonstrated the uncompromising standards we demand.
“Additionally, thanks to their all-electric operation, Unison machines offer the highest levels of clean manufacturing, something that is exceptionally important to our customer base.”
Unison’s tube and pipe bending machines offer rapid setup, fast tooling changes, rigid mechanical design and clean, all-electric operation for right-first-time repeat bending, or immediately after producing a trial part.
