Hydraulic Fluid Conveyance
70 Years of Unmatched Quality and Expertise.
A Tradition of Excellence
G3 Industries’ Hydraulic Division continues the legacy of Formrite, a trusted name in tube bending and fabrication for more than 70 years. Acquired by G3 in 2023, Formrite’s expertise in structural and fluid-carrying tube components strengthens our commitment to delivering high-quality, engineered solutions for OEMs across industries. Our Two Rivers, WI facility is purpose-built for hydraulic fluid conveyance manufacturing, combining proven processes with modern automation to support demanding applications at scale.
Robotic Bending & Welding
- High-Volume Robotic Bending: Robotic bending cells ensure speed, consistency, and cost-effectiveness across both high- and low-volume production.
- Robotic Welding: Automated welding delivers repeatable, high-integrity welds for structural and hydraulic tube assemblies.
Manual Precision Welding
- MIG & TIG Welding: Precision welding services tailored for hydraulic and structural tubing, meeting the most rigorous OEM requirements.
Brazing & Mechanical Joining
- Silver Brazing: Ideal for complex, high- and low-pressure joints with minimal distortion.
- Brass Brazing: Suitable for return lines and low-pressure hydraulic assemblies.
- Copper Brazing: A core capability for over seven decades, providing strong, leak-proof joints in demanding applications.
- Mechanical Joining: A cost-effective alternative to welding or brazing, mechanical joining allows tubes to be securely fastened to flanges, fittings, or housings—ideal for serviceable connections or specialized interfaces.
Hose & Tube Hybrid Assemblies
A signature strength of our Hydraulic Division, hybrid hose-tube assemblies offer performance and design flexibility where traditional assemblies fall short. Ideal for:
- Routing around heat sources (e.g., exhaust manifolds)
- Reducing vibration in rigid systems
- Applications unsuited to hose-only or tube-only solutions
We work side-by-side with OEM partners to engineer these assemblies for improved performance, easier installation, and supply chain efficiency.
Tube End Forming
A full range of tube end forming capabilities, including:
- Single & Double Flaring
- Expanding
- Swaging
- Flattening
- Parflanging
Cleaning & Testing Services
- Cleaning/Flushing: Removes internal contaminants, ensuring cleanliness standards for hydraulic systems.
- Hydraulic Testing: We offer impulse, proof, and burst testing on a contract basis—reducing cost and complexity for OEMs.
Powder Coat Painting
G3 Industries offers high-capacity powder coat painting with one of the largest systems in the Midwest, handling parts up to 60″ x 40″ x 120″. With more than 30 years of experience, our 50,000-square-foot facility features:
- Five-stage iron phosphate wash for optimal pre-treatment
- Seven spray booths for diverse applications
- Robotic full-recovery booth for high-density painting
- Multiple shift for high-volume production
Service industries from mining and medical to motorcycles and furniture, we deliver durable, high-quality finishes that enhance production product performance and appearance. Trust G3 for precision powder coating at scale.
