๐ŸŒ LOOK AROUND YOU. FICEP MIGHT BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

You probably don't think about the machinery behind the products you use every day.

But look aroundโ€ฆ
๐Ÿข Buildings โ€“ steel beams and columns supporting modern structures.
๐ŸŒ‰ Bridges โ€“ precisely processed steel plates, sections and structural components.
๐Ÿš— Vehicles โ€“ forged metal components engineered to withstand demanding conditions.
โšก Energy infrastructure โ€“ massive steel structures supporting the systems that keep power moving.

So where does Ficep come in?

Ficep machines help manufacturers cut, drill, machine, forge and process metal with the precision and automation required for today's demanding industries.

Raw steel doesn't simply become a finished component.

It goes through a carefully controlled manufacturing process.

And that's where advanced technology makes the difference.

From a steel billetโ€ฆ
to a forged component.

From a steel sectionโ€ฆ
to a building.

From a plateโ€ฆ
to major infrastructure.

The next time you drive across a bridge, walk into a building or get into your car, take a moment to think about everything that had to happen before that product reached you.

Manufacturing is all around us.

And Ficep is helping shape it.

๐Ÿš€ TRUMPF + Cutlite: Expanding the possibilities of laser cutting!

TRUMPF and Italian laser machine manufacturer Cutlite are entering a strategic partnership to strengthen their combined offering in large-format, high-power laser cutting and oversize tube cutting.

Cutlite brings more than 34 years of specialist experience, including customised large-format machines and very high-power 30โ€“60 kW fibre laser systems.

While TRUMPF is acquiring the Cutlite Penta business, Cutlite will continue operating under its own brand with its own manufacturing, sales and service facilities.

For manufacturers, this partnership brings together complementary expertise and could provide access to an even broader range of advanced laser cutting solutions.

At Retecon, we're excited to see what this collaboration means for the future of laser technology and sheet metal fabrication. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
