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
