Sona Speed Pvt Ltd, a specialist in precision mechatronics manufacturing solutions, has invested in a Quintus Flexform fluid cell press to expand its capabilities in producing high-precision prototype and low-volume components for aerospace and other demanding industries. The new press will support the company’s growing role as a supplier of flight-critical components for global customers.
Reflecting rising demand for lightweight, high-strength structures used in aircraft, satellites and launch systems, Sona Speed is strengthening its forming and structural assembly capabilities.
Says general manager Bart Korff: “We’re expanding our metal forming and structural assembly capabilities to support next-generation aircraft, satellite and launch vehicle programmes. Quintus Technologies brings proven expertise in high-pressure forming solutions that meet the stringent standards required for aerospace applications. Their technology enables us to deliver consistent quality, performance and reliability to customers operating in mission-critical environments.”
The investment reflects broader industry trends toward lighter, stronger materials and faster development cycles across aerospace, defence and high-performance industrial sectors. Advanced forming technologies such as the Flexform process enable manufacturers to reduce tooling complexity, improve structural performance and accelerate product development timelines.
Sona Speed selected the Flexform press model QFC 1×3-800, capable of applying up to 800 bar of forming pressure across a 1000 x 3000 mm work area. This performance is enabled by Quintus’ wire-winding pre-stress technology, which allows consistent pressure distribution across large forming surfaces.
“Flexform is a versatile solution for manufacturing complex sheet metal components, particularly in industries where precision, speed and cost control are essential for maintaining global competitiveness,” explains Peter Henning, chief commercial officer at Quintus Technologies.
