High-precision profile bending machines for the most challenging applications
More Information
Innovative bending technology for more than 35 years
At the Swiss company PBT AG, we develop and produce profile bending machines and digital control systems that satisfy the highest requirements in terms of quality and technical performance capabilities. Through the use of intelligent processes, our technologies have been setting industry standards since 1991, and are used in practically all segments of the metalworking industry: automotive, aerospace, window and façade engineering, conveyor technology, and many more rely on the quality and precision of our profile bending machines.
Operation without expert knowledge
Unparalleled in the sector - our digital controls are suitable for all operators. They allow handling of profile bending machines and precise bending after just a short training period and without any programming skills.
Using a modern multi-touch display, even complex bending programs can be prepared, managed and executed comfortably. Here the graphic display of the programmed workpiece allows visual inspection of the programmed data; notes and information on the process are available to everyone via PDF documentation.
In addition, our uncompromising profile bending machine control system PC400 can be utilized as a central controlling hub for machine periphery (supplementary modules, robots, saws, MMS etc.).

Almost 4,000 kilometres. 600 kg of CO2 saved. And one friendly rivalry that got slightly out of hand. 🚴 Half the team took part in Bike to Work again this year, with colleagues at PBT Germany riding along too. Two months of leaving the car at home and pedalling in to work instead. Somewhere along the way it quietly turned into a kilometre battle. Nobody would admit it. Everybody was checking the standings. We kept the riders going with snacks and something sweet for the breaks, which may or may not have cancelled out a few of those kilometres. 🙈 Best part? The campaign is over and most of… -

How are companies really using AI and automation, and where does the real value emerge? That was the question at an event hosted by acreo consulting ag and Balz Zuerrer, where Philipp joined a group of peers to compare notes. For us, AI is one relevant building block in digitalization, nothing more and nothing less. The exchange was genuinely interesting and we took a lot from it. Thanks a lot for putting this together -

What a day. On June 18 in Weinfelden, we hosted our Bending Day Switzerland. A small but seriously high-calibre group, with people in from Czechia, the Netherlands, the USA, Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland. One shared obsession: bending. 🤓 Plenty to dig into: 3D bending and where it is heading, live mandrel bending on the PBT35, a walkthrough of the Stierli Bieger AG line from André Burkard, and sharp perspectives on AI in industry from David Hemmi. But the best part was the people. Real conversations and hard questions over great food. These are the customers who run our machines every… -

Markus just wrapped up the commissioning of a brand-new #PBT25 PC400 at Komfort Partners-Aluminum and glass facade solutions in Eu \(Bulgaria\). And by the looks on everyone's faces, it went pretty well. 😄 Façade profiles, window profiles, tight radii - the PBT25 PC400 handles all of it with the precision you'd expect from a Swiss-made machine. Wishing the Komfort Partners team lots of great projects and happy bending ahead. We're excited to see what you're going to create 💪 #BendingTheShapesOfTomorrow -

What a Bending Day. 🤯 On May 7, we opened the doors at PBT Germany for our first Bending Day of 2026, and the energy was something else. An invitation-only group of customers, partners, and industry professionals came together for a full day of live bending, good conversations, and a couple of surprises we did not see coming ourselves. Peter Sting and the team ran live demos on the shop floor, from our latest machines with PC400 control all the way to an ARKUS that has been bending profiles since 1991. Nearly three decades of Swiss precision, still going strong. Amazed? You should be! We… -

Not every workshop needs a brand-new machine to get started. We always have a selection of pre-owned PBT machines available. Fully checked and ready to bend from day one. Like this ARKUS12 Tablet350 right now - only about 50 operating hours since the overhaul, in nearly new condition and available immediately. 👀 Same Swiss precision. Same reliability you'd expect from any PBT. Just a bit easier on the budget. Whether you're a smaller shop looking to level up, or you need a second machine for a growing workload, a second-hand PBT might be exactly what you're looking for. Curious what's cur… -

What a Bending Day! A big thank you to Schachermayer GmbH for hosting this fantastic event - bringing all bending technologies together under one roof. It was a packed day of live demonstrations, technical insights, and great conversations with industry professionals. Visitors got to experience cutting-edge bending technology up close, with machines running from Davi Promau, JUTEC Biegesysteme GmbH & Co. KG, and of course our very own #PBT15 PC400 with 3D bending setup. Thanks to our partners DAVI and JUTEC for a brilliant lineup of live demos, and of course to the entire Schachermayer team … -
