GOING THE DISTANCE (Diemaker/Diecutter of the Year)

Connecting by communicating

Marbach has not only pioneered diemaking technology, but spread the word about it and made it available for the entire industry's use.

"Karl Marbach has earned this prestigious recognition by being one of the most innovative men in our steel rule die industry," says Ken Holliday, president of both SouthEastern Die and the IADD. "He has dedicated his life to changing the diemaking processes, using innovative equipment and new ideas in production techniques which are now being used all over the world. His products and business acumen are second to none." Holliday believes Marbach is a major force behind changes in the entire concept of steel rule die manufacturing.
