Tennsmith has announced its acquisition of Roll Former Corporation, Chalfont, Pennsylvania. Roll Former Corporation is a leading manufacturer of roll forming equipment for the sheet metal forming industry.

As of August 19, 2021, Roll Former Corporation becomes part of Tennsmith, joining Roper Whitney of Rockford, Illinois, as one of the Tennsmith brands.

“This acquisition made a lot of sense for Tennsmith as roll-forming equipment is a natural extension and complement to the sheet metal forming equipment our company manufactures. With this product line, our organization can provide one of the most comprehensive lines of forming equipment and solutions to the metal-forming industry”, remarks Mike Smith, one of the Tennsmith owners.
