Unison Ltd
About us
Unison Ltd is the UK’s leading manufacturer of tube and pipe bending machines. We invented ultra-precise, all-electric tube manipulation in the 1990s. Until then, the world had relied on the slow-to-setup, hydraulic machines of the day, where accuracy and repeatability were often affected by oil temperature and operator skill.
Today we build the world’s largest range of powerful, ultra-precise, all-electric models for diameters ranging from 4 mm to 275 mm, including single-stack, multi-stack, twinhead, left & right and pinball machines. We export to more than 20 countries and to sectors as wide ranging as motorsport, marine, oil & gas, aerospace, general manufacturing, subcontracting, architecture and energy, including SMR.
For organisations that carry out repetitive tube bending tasks, we offer a range of advanced, electrically controlled, hydraulically operated dual-stack machines. Our acquisition of Pneuform Machines Ltd has brought high-quality wire and small-diameter tube bending machines to our customers. Through Nukon Lasers UK, we offer Nukon’s advanced, highly accessible, European fibre laser cutting machines to customers in the UK and Ireland.
The latest addition to the Unison family, PHI Hydraulics, further expands our offering with precision tube and pipe end-forming machinery and tooling for flaring, double flaring, flanging, beading, squaring and deburring. PHI also brings manual and hydraulic tube bending machines and hydraulic presses, giving our customers an even wider choice of manufacturing technologies backed by Unison’s service and support.
Our Unibend CNC software is widely viewed as the most user-friendly control system for tube and pipe manipulation, while our Opt2Sim tube bending simulation software and tube bending app simplify the most complex of tube bending tasks.
Include our extensive tooling designs and 4- and 5-axis machining capability, and you can count on Unison to be your true partner for even the most challenging of applications. Add considerable consumable tooling stock holdings of mandrels and wipers in the UK and US – supported by prompt global delivery – and it’s easy to see why customers around the world put their trust in Unison.
One family. Four world-class brands. Unison, Pneuform, Nukon Lasers UK and PHI. All supported by the highest levels of service, support and software. That’s Unison.
