In 1965, "Tower Manufacturing" began manufacturing riveting machines from their factory in Worcestershire, UK. The Company was subsequently split up and relocated to Welshpool where it remained until 2009 when parent company, Floform, went bust. During this time, hundreds of machines were provided for numerous assembly applications from brake relining, to light fittings, to automotive components, to castors.

 

In May 2009, Northwick purchased the Riveting assets from the Administrator and not only brought Tower home to Worcestershire but also re-established Tower Riveters with it's parent Milford.

 

Tower Riveting Machines were manufactured in Worcestershire, UK under license from Milford Fastening Systems in USA.

 

Tower and Milford machines shared a range of common machine platforms and many parts were identical. Whilst some changes were made to the Tower machines for the UK and European markets, the majority of spare parts and tooling were fully interchangeable.

 

That commonality has continued to the present day.

 

 

With the takeover by Northwick, Tower customers are now able to source new,

OEM parts and tools for their machines directly from Northwick's UK manufacturing site in Pershore, Worcestershire.

 

The inventory at Pershore now includes a complete selection of the most commonly used spares such as clutches, pivots, spacers, jaws springs, slide springs, con rods, cranks, head blocks, bearings, toggle links, pins, electrical parts, solenoids and guarding.

 

A complete inventory of parts is also available ex-stock from Orbitform in USA giving full coverage for all machine parts.

 

 

 

Now, following the acquisition, Tower Riveting

customers can benefit from being a part of Europe's most comprehensive 

riveting machine family.

 

World Leading 

 

The Northwick family of riveting machines is supported by some of the world's leading experts in riveting technology from Europe and North America. 

 

Alongside Tower, there are a host of established and world-renowned riveting machine names including Milford, Adtech, Arno, and Orbitform.

 

And there is a full 3D CAD technical database and application library available via an online portal (www.orbitform.com).

 

 

Northwick have also restored individual machine records and tooling details giving full machine history which can be cross referenced to the Tower machines' serial numbers.
