About Pryer Technology Group

Pryer Technology Group (PTG) is a union of three experienced and successful companies that came together in 2008. Their goal: To fill a previously unmet need in the marketplace for updated sheet hydroforming systems not manufactured since the 1970s.

Pryer Machine, an aerospace parts supplier; Beckwood Press Company, a hydraulic press and custom machinery manufacturer; and Sterne Machine Tools Sales, a dealer of new and used machinery; combined forces to bring the revolutionary Triform hydroform press to life.

PTG completed its first Triform press in 2008 and has continued to improve and expand the line ever since. Now offering more than 10 different models, with additional presses in development, PTG can meet a wide range of hydroforming needs.
