The company designs, manufactures and installs titanium and aluminium forming cells for aerospace and automotive manufacturers worldwide. This capability recently included designing and manufacturing a composite forming facility at the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (ARMC). The composite forming press is being used as part of a facility to help UK companies stay at the leading edge of composite development.
Rhodes Interform’s composite machinery is used to produce structural components for production road cars, as well as flight critical components for a variety of aircraft. The company also offers a range of cold-forming technologies for specialist metal-forming applications across a number of sectors.
Mark Ridgway OBE, CEO of Group Rhodes, says: “The Advanced Engineering show is a platform for us to demonstrate our composite and metal-forming capabilities. Our team will be discussing how they can help manufacturers to meet their equipment requirements, using our expertise gained from almost 200 years in the metal-forming industry. We’ll also be explaining about the servicing packages we offer to minimise downtime, and maximise the longevity and performance of the equipment.”
All Rhodes Interform’s machinery is supported worldwide by an aftermarket spares and service team.
