GOING THE DISTANCE (Diemaker/Diecutter of the Year)

Expanding locations and ideas

With recent innovations such as the mpower®-rule (a bevel-hardened rule with a rounded cutting edge) and the MarbaStrip (a stripper that does not require underpins), Marbach Co. is definitely working on more than just expansion.

"The ability to see what the future of our industry will need seems to be Karl's focus," notes Kengott. "They are the most diversified [diemaking] company in the world today. During my 22 years in this industry, I have traveled quite extensively, visiting many industry giants, but Karl's company has impressed me the most."
