GOING THE DISTANCE (Diemaker/Diecutter of the Year)

Kengott believes Marbach's tremendous research and development in diemaking techniques, diecutting methods, and specialized tooling is considered superior in Europe and abroad. "He has ventured into automation at every level of the diemaking/diecutting process and has done so with tremendous results. From pioneering the first laser in Europe to producing automated equipment for their own in-house dies, Karl has led his company on a path to success that is truly unique," says Kengott.
