Premitec Uk Limited

PREMiTEC UK Ltd. Premitec was founded in the UK in by Ian Pickles, Ian an ex-toolmaker, production engineer and with knowledge of hydraulic presses in the UK, felt there was a market for a bespoke business supplying hydraulic presses and heavy load handling equipment to industry with an ethos of ‘simple production solutions’ for pressing parts, handling scrap and heavy loads. Initially, Premitec promoted press tool handling equipment. Over time the weight capacities grew from manipulating 40 tonne tools to solving heavy load handling systems which today are in excess of 180 tons. Their equipment has always been simple, using straightforward engineering principles. Units have been supplied to the automotive, aerospace, white goods and wind turbine industries throughout the world. In 2003 Premitec became the UK agent for Hydraulico presses in Denmark. Not only do Hydraulico design and manufacture hydraulic presses from 100 tons up to tons, but they also enjoy great success with their service department, who upgrade and service all makes and capacities of hydraulic presses. Spare parts for all makes and sizes of presses can be supplied. Their electronic shimming concept is a world leader in the field of deep drawing. When in 2005, a Swedish company approached Premitec to supply their Electro Mechanical Scrap Shuttles or Multi Tray Scrap Shaker, from the first unit installed at Baxi Boilers, Preston in November 2005, the demand has increased year on year. In April 2017 the company was taken over by Steve Woodland, a long time friend and ex-colleague if Ian's. Steve has spent over 30 years in the design, manufacture and sales of hydraulic presses, tooling and automation. Premitec will continue the principle of "simple production solutions" whilst enhancing the product range and entering new markets.
