Rhodes Interform
Rhodes Interform operates as part of Group Rhodes and is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of CNC and PLC controlled metalforming machinery. Specialist in the bespoke design of mechanical and hydraulic presses, the company is renowned for supplying high quality, state of the art machinery. Standard models of mechanical and hydraulic presses, offered in both Open Front and Double-Sided designs sit alongside highly specialised machinery in the Rhodes portfolio. The company is the world’s leading manufacturer of superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) machinery and also designs and develops machinery for forming advanced composites.
Expansion over recent years has seen Group Rhodes acquire synergistic Metalforming machinery companies such as Henry Berry, Fielding & Platt, John Shaw, Chester Hydraulics, Bentley, HME, HME Minting, Cowlishaw Walker and Dualform. In addition, new product lines are continuously under research for which Patents and International Machine Tool Awards have been gained. The company regularly exports approximately a third of its turnover to over thirty countries each year, and Rhodes products have also been manufactured abroad under licence. The export market is served by a UK based export manager who liaises with an organisation of distributors and agents in most leading countries, although the majority of exported machines are sold directly to the customer from the UK.
