To show the advances in the latest technology being used with the Frame Machine several live demonstrations were held at the Henrob premises in Deeside.

Howick had a very successful show at the Futurebuild convention at Earls Court in London.

Howick Ltd chooses Vertex as their partner 

Vertex Systems UK has completed it's latest major development project in the form of a new NC link to Harrogate based Howick Ltd's rollforming machine. Howick Ltd. has its headquaters and manufacturing unit in New Zealand.

The latest update to the Howick Frame Machine includes a new machine control interface that runs on Windows XP. The flexibility achieved by basing the machine control on such a widely used and supported operating system adds connection and interface solutions previously difficult or impossible to obtain.
