About Expansor

Expansor Nederland B.V. is based Ulft (NL). Founded in 1956, the company initially focused on the production of site-specific expansion joints for Shell. Over time, Expansor has grown to become a niche deformation specialist active in a global market. The company offers three product groups: Expansion joints for the process industry, a wide range of 3D shaped products applied in design, industry and architecture, and wearing parts for the ceramics industry. 

As a niche specialist, the company enjoys being consulted to solves design and engineering challenges in an early stage of product development. Where possible, an experienced team of engineers will help improve your product, think of cost-effective solutions, or shorten time to market. The factory staff make sure products are made according to exact specifications and strict certification resulting in a quality end product. 

Three core technologies allow us to shape complex and innovative products

Liquid shaping

Sheet or tube is placed in a hydraulic press. By applying water pressure the product is shaped into a desired form. Liquid shaping is also known as hydroforming.

Rubber pad forming

Sheet material is being pressed between a die and a rubber cushion. Under mechanical pressure, the sheet is driven into the die as to conform to its shape.

Roll forming

Continuously bending of a strip of sheet metal (typically coiled steel) between a set of adjustable rollers allows us to roll the sheet into a desired shape.

Right in the heart of the Dutch metal-processing industry, Expansor was founded in 1956. Initially to produce and maintain site-specific expansion joints for Shell. Over the years the company has proven itself as a deformation specialist.
