The Fromm group, based in Switzerland, produces a wide range of packaging solutions for unitizing and palletizing cargo for transport.

Fromm is best known for making heavy duty industrial packaging tools. Fromm manufactures up to 10 pneumatic steel strapping as well as polyester strapping battery tools.
The Fromm A483 steel strapping tool is ideal for strapping heavy and strong cargo like steel bars, metal rods and other such products in the metal market.

Apart from the Fromm A483, Fromm provides other industrial strapping solutions depending on the application and other requirements. The A480 for example, is another steel strapping tool introduced by Fromm and provides for more mobility when required due to its lighter body. The Fromm A480, like the Fromm A483, is a push style combination strapping tool that makes for easier feeding of the strap into the tool. This tool is most popular for packaging of wire bundles. The A480 strapping tool is very similar to the Fromm A483 in its operation. The only difference among the two is based on the weight of the two tools. The A480 weighs almost half that of the Fromm 483; standing at 4.5 kgs.
