It has been two years since we at SIHK received the award for “Hidden Champion” and “Global Market Leader for Modular Forming Machine Concepts.” At the time, WDR television produced a wonderful report on the occasion. The video is still available in the media library, but it will be removed on June 20 after two years online.

So if you haven’t seen the film yet or would like to watch it again, now is your last chance. Here is the link to the WDR media library:

Three trade magazines have featured us in recent weeks.
An identical article about the largest forming system in our company’s history has appeared in the sister publications *blechnet* and *MM MaschinenMarkt*.
The trade journal *Der Schnitt- und Stanzwerkzeugbau* provided even more detailed coverage of this topic.
Many thanks to the editorial teams of these trade journals 🤗

Wire 2026 has come to a close, and we’d like to thank all our new visitors and our old friends who made their way to our booth. It was a truly wonderful and successful trade show for us.

We were able to make numerous new contacts and have productive discussions about specific projects. Our sales team is already looking forward to strengthening these relationships in the coming months, and we’ll definitely be back for Wire 2028.
