Since 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.
