HINES BENDING SYSTEMS, INC.

Hines Bending Systems, Inc. was founded in 1975 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1983, Hines Bending Systems moved its corporate headquarters to Fort Myers, Florida.

Jim Hynes, Hines Bending's President and CEO, founded the company on the belief that customers' pipe and tube bending needs were not being adequately addressed. As a result, he built a manufacturing facility that today supplies hundreds of global brands with tube and pipe bending machines.

Committed to Innovation As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Hines has led the tube and pipe bending industry with innovation in traditional numerically controlled (NC) and computer numerically controlled (CNC) Mandrel Bending Machines, as well as its full line of Induction Bending Machines.

In 1975, Hines Bending sold one type of mandrel bending machine. Today, Hines Bending sells 31 different models of tube and pipe bending machines.

Dedicated to its Customers Long before 1975, Jim Hynes knew the importance of listening to customer needs. Today, hundreds of global brands - the very large to the very small - use a Hines Bending Machine to bend tube and pipe for hundreds of products and applications.

Customer Focus Hines Bending Systems, Inc. was founded in 1975 in Chicago, Illinois. In High School, Hines Bending's founder, James "Jim" Hynes, worked at his father's Standard Oil (now Amoco) service station where he learned a lot about cars. More importantly, he learned how to service customers, earning their respect and setting what he would later use as "best practices" to achieve extraordinarily high customer satisfaction.

When patrons weren't stopping for gas, my father would shout, "Are the bathrooms clean?" or "Don't just stand there, push the broom around," explained Jim Hynes. On the importance of time management, if there was a line to cash out, he'd say, "Get the money son, you can talk to your friends later."
