If you’ve ever tried to scope a metalforming project and found yourself stitching together multiple vendors, multiple service contacts and multiple approaches to the same problem, you already know where the friction lives.
This partnership between Grotnes and Nova Sidera is meant to remove some of that friction.
Our alliance is based on practical gains: broader forming capabilities under one coordinated umbrella, stronger U.S.-based responsiveness for support and spares and two engineering teams that can collaborate earlier on the kind of projects that don’t fit neatly inside a standard catalog.
A Wider Metalforming Toolset Without the Vendor Shuffle
Grotnes has long been known for expanding, shrinking, spinning and roll forming. Nova Sidera brings deep specialization in metal spinning lathes and special machines for metal deformation, with a design-and-build mindset shaped by customization and craftsmanship.
If you’re a manufacturer, chances are you’re building both a product and process. And processes usually require more than one forming method, more than one step and more than one round of refinement.
This partnership makes it easier to design the whole forming path with fewer handoffs.
Stronger Local Support & Faster When it Matters
A metalforming machine is an investment. But uptime is where that investment pays off… or where it bleeds.
One of the most meaningful parts of this partnership is the emphasis on a stronger local support structure for service and spare parts. That’s the difference between waiting on international time zones and shipping windows or getting answers, parts and guidance from a team that’s built to support U.S. customers quickly.
And Grotnes customers will recognize the intent here: keep support close, keep it technical, keep it responsive.
More Capability, One Conversation
From a customer’s perspective, partnerships only matter if they simplify your life.
This one is designed to do that by helping you consolidate:
- forming approach discussions
- machine recommendations
- project scoping
- service and spares support
…into a more unified experience.
You still get two specialists; now you get them working together.
What Grotnes & Nova Sidera Leaders Say
“We are extremely excited about the partnership with Nova Sidera,” Grotnes President and CEO Mike Walker said. “This strategic step allows us to provide our customers with a more complete metalforming solution center, a stronger local support structure for customer service and spare parts and allows both companies technical teams to explore new product development initiatives.”
Elena Tasso, President of Nova Sidera, echoed the same customer-first focus:
“The entire Nova Sidera team is excited about the partnership with Grotnes, we believe that a cooperation with a company that shares the same values and technical attitude will bring new solutions to our customers, a very responsive, US-based technical service and support and a unique interface for metal forming and packaging industry needs”.
