Eric,
        Hepco makes fine equipment that is durable, reliable and easy to
use. GPD makes good equipment that will do a multitude of forms, but
requires more setup and a higher skill set for operation and maintenance.
Manix makes a variety of types of equipment that also deserves a look for
what you need. These recommendations are based on personal experience over
the years with all of them. There are a lot of European manufacturers of
quality equipment (Streckfuss, Olamaef and others), but I have found that
the sales reps often change on a regular basis and parts can be difficult to
get in a timely fashion. Prep equipment isn't a major capital investment,
but do your homework and demo everything you're considering. You've got to
live with it and support it.

The Ebso equipment Paul mentioned looks interesting, but much of their stuff
looks suspiciously like Streckfuss equipment. I think their page says
something like "We bend everything but bananas", BabelFish didn't give the
best translation.
