Kent Corp. enters HF welder market

Kent Corp., a North Royalton, Ohio-based OEM for the tube and pipe industry, has formed partnerships with several European OEMs looking to grow in the North American market, allowing the company to offer more than just the entry equipment it manufactures.

One of the latest partnerships is an exclusive North American sales and service agreement with Termomacchine, a manufacturer of induction heating equipment including high-frequency welders for tube and pipe production. This partnership allows Kent to offer full turnkey tube mills from entry system through packaging.

Kent is wrapping up 2022 with five HF welders sold and more units on order for stock. These new orders include welders going on new MTM tube mills, as well as units that are replacing older equipment on existing mills.
