Innovatools Named a 2026 Industrial Innovation Awards Honouree
Sep 24, 2026 -- By Gabrielle Doucet
We’re proud to share that the Innovatools Modular Bending Brake has been named a 2026 Industrial Innovation Awards Honouree.
The Beginnings of a Passionate Inventor
The recognition was awarded to the Innovatools Modular Bending Brake, a patented modular bending system designed to rethink how professional portable brakes are configured, transported, serviced and expanded over time.
Unlike conventional fixed-length brakes, the Innovatools system can be configured to different lengths and capacities, broken down into manageable sections for shipping and storage, and upgraded or repaired by replacing individual components rather than the entire machine.
New Equipment Digest highlighted the system’s modular architecture, compact shipping format and expanding ecosystem of trim holders, cutting tools and accessories as key parts of its value to contractors and fabricators.
Built to Make the Job Easier
At Innovatools, we design and manufacture portable aluminum bending brakes and accessories around real jobsite needs. Our goal is to make bending and fabrication easier, faster and more efficient while continuing to expand what contractors can accomplish with their equipment.
Receiving this recognition is an exciting validation of that approach.
