GOING THE DISTANCE (Diemaker/Diecutter of the Year)

According to Marbach's son, Peter, who represents the third generation of Marbach Co., the company is currently working on gaining a better market stance. "We are in the process of expanding into far-reaching countries—Russia, Saudi Arabia, and India are already in the works. We hope to continue to grow through franchising," the younger Marbach explains. The company is also perfecting the Marbastrip technology, and a host of other products.
