Forming the Future – November Edition

Your Guide to Rollforming & Folding Innovation

2025: Year in Review

We delivered a significant slate of installations across the region – including two Thalmann TD folders, a new variable-purlin line in New Zealand, four nuSLIT cut-to-length lines, two nuIT automation setups and four Tandarra lines into Australia. We also completed a number of major guarding upgrades and unveiled our new Preventative Maintenance software, Total Reliability – just to name a few.

 


2026 Delivery Estimates


Lead times remain one of the biggest factors shaping 2026 planning. To help you make clearer decisions, we’ve mapped out expected delivery windows across our core suppliers for the year ahead.

Looking Ahead to 2026


As we move into 2026, our focus is clear: improve reliability, strengthen collaboration and continue delivering value across every part of the ownership experience.

1. Sharper operations and a stronger customer experience

This year, we tightened the internal processes that sit behind our service: better quoting consistency, smoother information flow and improved follow-up systems. Our WhatsApp update line has made communication faster and more transparent, and we’ve combined freight across orders where possible and passed those savings on, and changed FX suppliers in order to ensure our foreign exchange rates are highly competitive.

In 2026, we’ll build on this work — exploring how AI can help us predict lifetime running and maintenance costs by machine, making scheduling more consistent, and ensuring upgrades, training and servicing are easier to plan.

2. Deeper technical collaboration with suppliers

Our partnerships remain the backbone of what we deliver. Next year we’ll continue bringing the latest technology into the region, including:

    OnRoll by CIDAN — variable standing seam rollformer launching into AUS/NZ in 2026  

   ‣ Barida
 — expanded purlin capability with automated stacking and wrapping, plus new industrial lines (road-guardrail, structural systems)

   ‣ Connected Workshops
 — deeper automation and data integration across CIDAN Group machinery and existing customer equipment

These collaborations ensure customers get access to the most advanced systems with trustworthy local support.

3. Consistent value and clearer decision-making

Our priority remains giving customers value based pricing from our best in class suppliers and confidence in their long-term planning.

We’ll continue sharpening internal processes, negotiating stronger supplier terms and aligning specifications to deliver the best possible value across our portfolio.
