Metal Forming
Since 1936, Eckold have been renowned as the pioneers in metal forming, shrinking and stretching machinery technology.
Cold forming, shrinking and stretching machinery has not been insulated from the technological revolution of the past 70 years. Today’s machinery bares little resemblance to the machines of the past and much of this is thanks to the advances made by this renowned metal working machinery manufacturer.
Eckold has also pioneered clinching techniques, which allow sheet metal fabricators to connect metal pieces together, without the need of fasteners. Today’s range of Swiss and Germany made Shrinking and Stretching Machines continues to raise the bar, with a broad range of tools covers all aspects of metal forming and clinching.
In Australia, Headland is proud to be the exclusive provider of Eckold. Headland is also proud to provide Australia largest network of accredited service engineers.
