Fortron is the sole sales agent for HURON, Jyoti and H.G. Ridder in the United Kingdom and Ireland. All three brands are leaders in the manufacture and development of the finest-quality machine tools available in the world today.

The company was founded in 2005 in Nelson, Lancashire. Today, Fortron is relied upon to produce an impeccable sales and information service for the manufacturers it represents.

The Fortron sales team consists of highly-skilled engineers with many years’ experience covering all engineering sectors. Their website is a customer-facing sales portal designed to make it as easy possible to find and buy whichever product is needed. Information about each part is provided, along with a link to download a full colour brochure listing.

For those unfamiliar with the machine tool sector, the HURON name is synonymous with the development of extremely accurate and fast machine tools with unrivalled build quality. Fortron is HURON’s only authorised supplier in the UK and Ireland and is required to provide the highest levels of supply and service in all aspects of its operation. The company produces machines for the most demanding industries from aerospace and automotive, through to general engineering and medical.

H.G. Ridder was founded in 1980 in Hamm, Westphalia in Germany. Its original market was the manufacture of CNC vertical lathe machines but the company’s rapid growth and experience with CNC technology allowed it to design, develop and manufacture water jet cutting machinery. Its first water jet cutting machine was delivered in 1990.

Jyoti – Fortron’s third supplier - is a leading CNC manufacturing company. The company strives to advance technology in the machine tool arena. Jyoti’s valued customers include NASA, Boeing, Rolls Royce and BMW. Although the company has major global interests, a large proportion of its commercial interest centres on India.
