Global market leader in shipbuilding presses and frame benders

As the global market leader in shipbuilding presses and frame benders, we understand that many shipyards around the world struggle with the production of complex hull panels. Existing production techniques are labour intensive, require many years of experience and the qualified workforce is aging rapidly. Nieland offers a wide range of solutions that allow you to move from Line Heating to Cold Forming, making your production faster and more effective, without having impact on material.

Nieland shipbuilding presses are now used in over twenty-three countries across the globe. From our headquarters in the Netherlands a team of engineers, project managers, and sales consultants will support you in selecting the right solution and implementing it. Our trainers travel the world to teach your operators how to shape complex hull panels using the Nieland shipbuilding presses.

Our presses are all manufactured at our Friesland location in the Netherlands, including FAT testing.

Nieland is part of the SMI Groep, which consists of multiple production sites specialized in metal working and product companies focused on maritime and security solutions.
