Mestek Machinery is announcing that the ISM Machinery and the Lion brand names will change to Lockformer effective January 1, 2022.
The rebranding of ISM Machinery and Lion to Lockformer is an effort to streamline Mestek Machinery’s brands in the marketplace. The Lockformer name is the most recognized brand in the sheet metal machinery industry and the world leader in the production of HVAC roll forming equipment and Vulcan cutting systems.
This ISM Machinery brand name change will affect all spiral and round/oval equipment including the D-Max spiral tubeformers, Laser-Max 1.5, Gore-Max 1.5, Oval-Max 2, Max-Flange 2.7, and the Angle-Max 1.6. The Lion brand name change will affect the Pneuma-Wrap Brake and the Cleat Folder. The color schemes of these machines will change to the traditional Lockformer blue.
There will not be any changes to manufacturing and support of the existing ISM Machinery and Lion products. Production of ISM Machinery and Lion products will continue at their current locations.
We ensure that this rebranding will not affect or delay any current orders or service. However, from January 1, 2022, Mestek Machinery will use the Lockformer brand name for all official purposes. Therefore, we request you to make a note of the change in the brand’s name.
