Since our founding in the late 1890’s as The Cincinnati Shaper Company, we built on our leadership with those early machines. We started to manufacture metal fabrication equipment in the early 1920’s, and this remains our primary focus.We are one of a handful of U.S.-based, build-to-order machine tool manufacturers, and have shipped more than 60,000 machines in over a 125 years of operation. From our modern 500,000-square-foot plant and technical center on an 80 acre campus near Cincinnati, Ohio, we engineer and build our Software, Laser Cutting Systems, Automation, Press Brakes, Shears, and Powder Metal Presses, to the standard of ruggedness required in the North American market – with premium engineering features that stand up to years of rigorous use in demanding environments.
