TRUMPF has announced that its TruBend Series 7000 precision press brake is now available in North America.
In 1974 Andy Laitila was in his early 20’s living in his native Finland when he and his wife planned a two-year visit to Canada. This “two-year visit” soon became a life-changing adventure. Laitila fell in love with Canada and soon adopted the country for his new home, raised a family, and founded Laicor Fixtures, a manufacturer of retail checkout counters and cabinets based in Peterborough, ON. The same determination that brought Laitila to Canada also enabled him to succeed in the business world.


When Delta Elevator Co. Ltd., Kitchener, ON wanted to enhance its lean manufacturing operation, the company immediately realized that it would have to upgrade its bending capabilites.
