About Peter Nilsson
Peter Nilsson is the founder and CEO of SweBend, the Hässleholm-based manufacturer of plate-, section- and tube-bending rolls, forming, flighting and spiralling machines, and the SEVEN CNC system. He spent almost 30 years learning the craft under the founder of Roundo® - long regarded as the world's leading bending-machine maker, with 16,000+ machines delivered to companies such as Rolls-Royce, John Deere, Toyota and Volvo - and was named his successor. When a change of ownership led to Roundo's closure, Peter founded SweBend in 2013 together with its most experienced engineers. Today SweBend's machines deliver bending results for leading benders worldwide, including Barnshaws, Kersten Europe, Den Oudsten, Sjölund and Van Rijsoort.
