Now a division of Newark Special Technology, the Montebello company also repairs, modifies and upgrades existing presses, drawing on decades of hydraulic-press experience and an engineering-led team.

Phoenix Hydraulic PressesPhoenix Hydraulic Presses grew from PH Hydraulics, which acquired a Shuler Manufacturing press line in 1987, and was formally established by former PH Group members in 2003. Now part of a larger group employing more than 100 people, Phoenix keeps press engineering and fabrication under its own roof while building equipment for businesses of varied sizes. Its work spans standard machines and custom designs shaped around a customer's application.HILLIARD, OH
Savage EngineeringSince Fred A. Wolbert founded it in 1963 to solve bulldozer track-repair problems, Savage Engineering has built custom hydraulic presses for industrial jobs that do not fit a catalog. The Cleveland-area manufacturer designs and builds its machines under one roof, from presses for unusual forming and compaction applications to precision straightening equipment, with capacities up to 3,500 tons. Its 45,000-square-foot facility produces every press in the USA, and the company’s history includes Wolbert’s son Dan joining in 1975 and becoming president in 2007.CLEVELAND, OH
Digital Press USAFounded in 1999 by former C.C. Sutinen manager Willard Ettinger, Digital Press USA designs and manufactures hydraulic powder compacting presses for dry-molded parts. The family-owned Bethlehem company builds machines to stock, subjects them to a 300-point inspection, and supports them with no-charge remote diagnostics rather than treating service as a profit center. It also rebuilds Bussmann, Mannesmann, and Alpha presses, extending the working life of equipment with roots reaching back to the 1950s.BETHLEHEM, PA
