Six Decades of
Know-How & Integrity
From a small family operation in the Van Deilen garage to a trusted global resource for coil processors and manufacturers — our story is built on honest guidance, long-term relationships, and a deep respect for the industry we love.
A Small Family Operation That Grew With the Industry
Since 1965, VX Machinery has been helping customers find dependable used coil processing and metalworking equipment. What started as a small, family-run operation with the Van Deilen family has grown into a trusted resource for coil processors and manufacturers around the world.
Even though the industry has changed over the decades, our approach has stayed the same. We believe in honest guidance, long-term relationships, and solutions that help you get the most value from your equipment investment.
From the beginning, our focus has been simple. We help customers buy, sell, move, and install used industrial machinery in a way that feels straightforward and stress-free — whether you are replacing a line, expanding production, or selling surplus equipment.
Six Decades in the Making
From a family startup to a global network — a look at how VX Machinery has grown and evolved over sixty years of service to coil processors everywhere.
Founded by the Van Deilen Family
VX Machinery opens its doors in Sylvania, Ohio as a small, family-run operation with a mission to help manufacturers find reliable used coil processing equipment at fair prices.
Building Expertise & a Global Network
The team deepens its knowledge across cut-to-length lines, slitting lines, and coil handling systems while building the international buyer and seller relationships that define VX Machinery today.
Industry Presence & Expanded Reach
VX Machinery becomes a fixture at FABTECH and major industry events while expanding its online and marketing capabilities — all without losing the direct, relationship-driven approach that has always set the company apart.
Trusted by Manufacturers Worldwide
After sixty years in business, VX Machinery remains a family-owned company with an A+ BBB rating, a global network of buyers and sellers, and the same core values that started it all: knowledge, consistency, and genuine respect for the people we serve.
The Three Principles Behind Every Project
These aren't just values on a wall. They're the commitments that have shaped every deal, every relationship, and every piece of equipment we've placed over six decades.
Honest Guidance
We tell you exactly what we know about every piece of equipment — condition, history, and realistic expectations. You deserve straightforward answers from people who understand coil processing inside and out, not a sales pitch.
Long-Term Relationships
Many of our customers have worked with us for years — some for decades. We invest in understanding your operation, your goals, and the context behind your equipment decisions so every interaction builds on the last.
Maximum Equipment Value
Used machinery should deliver real performance when matched to the right application. We help you find equipment that fits your production requirements and budget — and we stay with you through delivery and installation.
Equipment We've Worked With for Decades
If it's part of a coil-fed workflow, there is a good chance we have worked with it. Our depth of knowledge spans the full range of steel processing machinery.
Cut-to-Length Lines
Straightening, shearing, and stacking systems for producing flat sheets from coil to exact tolerances across a wide range of gauges and widths.
Slitting Lines
High-speed rotary slitting systems for dividing master coils into narrower widths, from light gauge to heavy-duty steel and specialty metals.
Roll Formers
Continuous roll forming lines that progressively shape metal strip into structural profiles, panels, tubing, and custom cross-sections for a range of industries.
Levelers & Flatteners
Precision equipment for removing coil set, crossbow, edge wave, and other flatness defects from metal strip before downstream processing.
Rolling Mills
Single-stand and tandem rolling mills for reducing thickness, improving surface finish, and producing tighter tolerances on steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
Coil Handling Systems
Recoilers, uncoilers, straighteners, feeders, and the supporting automation that keeps coil lines running safely, efficiently, and at full capacity.
Anneal & Pickling Equipment
Heat treatment and surface preparation systems that restore material properties and prepare metal surfaces for downstream forming, coating, and finishing operations.
Banding Lines
Tension leveling and stretch bending lines that improve flatness and mechanical properties while eliminating yield point elongation for demanding applications.
Supporting Machinery
The presses, shears, straightening machines, and ancillary equipment that complete a coil processing operation — we source and evaluate all of it.
After sixty years in business, we remain a family-owned company that believes in earning trust through knowledge, consistency, and genuine respect for the people we serve. We look forward to many more years of helping manufacturers and processors find the equipment they need to keep their operations moving.— The Van Deilen Family & VX Machinery Team
