Celebrating 116 Years of Innovation With CIDAN

By CIDAN. 

CIDAN has been a leader in manufacturing high-quality machinery for over a century. Below, you can read about their impressive past, present and what they hope for the future.  

Since 1907, CIDAN Machinery Group has been a significant player in the sheet metal industry. Originating from Götene, Sweden, the company has since become a world-renowned supplier of cutting-edge machinery and user-friendly control solutions. Recently, CIDAN has taken another step forward with acquiring THALMANN Maschinenbau AG from Switzerland. Let’s take a closer look at this traditional Swedish company and all it offers. 

“Perfect match: THALMANN fits perfectly to the CIDAN Group. Our goal is to offer all solutions to our market segment, and by acquiring Thalmann we gain a stronger position within North America and internationally. This acquisition is a win for both our customers, and our employees and we continue to build a platform of success for all of our stakeholders.” Chandler Barden, President of CIDAN Machinery Americas. 

Then and now 

Since its foundation, CIDAN has stood for developing and manufacturing of high-quality, innovative and efficient folding machines and sheet metal shears. Today, besides CIDAN, the two Austrian companies FORSTNER (decoiling systems), nuIT (control solutions) and the renowned Swiss long folding machine manufacturer THALMANN, CIDAN Machinery Group has a total of 300 total global employees.
