Pacific Press Technologies, Inc. (Mount Carmel, IL) celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2015. The company began during World War II by building the United States’ first hydraulic press brake, a safer and more reliable alternative to mechanical brakes.
Pacific Press Technologies continued to build and improve its product line; they built the first computer-controlled servo-hydraulic press for composite molding and the world’s largest plate shear which was able to cut one and a half inch steel plate.
Today Pacific Press offers a wide range of presses, press brakes and shears to meet customers’ hydraulic metal-forming applications. All machinery is precision-crafted in the U.S. and is supported by a team of Pacific Press experts for the life of the machine.
