application and the technical requirements of its customers( presses ranging from 50 up to 15,000 tons). For more than seventy years, it has designed and developed a comprehensive range of technically advanced presses. It provides in-house manufacturing from start to finish: cutting; welding; annealing; CNC machining; assembly; quality assurance and factory acceptance.
With tonnages ranging from 2400 to 1000 tons and a bolster area of 5,000 x 2,500mm, the Taiwanese manufacturer’ s servo-mechanical tandem press line is used in the automotive sheet metal industry. Designed to overcome the limits of traditional hydraulic presses( in terms of speed etc.), the manufacturer launched its first servomechanical tandem line in 2016. Its product portfolio also includes die spotting; die tryout; drawing; forging; hemming; hydraulic; hotforming; C-Frame and hydroforming presses.
Loire Gestamp, a branch of the Gestamp group, designs and manufactures various types of hydraulic presses and can adapt products to the specific needs of each project. Processes include hot stamping / press hardening presses, cold stamping( deepdrawing presses), hydroforming presses and try-out presses. Based in Hernani, Gipuzkoa( Spain), Loire Gestamp is one of Europe’ s largest producers of hydraulic presses. It also offers mechanical servo presses, including hot or cold stamping lines, and has internal capabilities for the development and manufacture of dies, covering the entire value chain.
Macrodyne Technologies specialises in servo and hydraulic presses for various applications, including superplastic forming and turnkey automation / die-handling solutions. It offers advanced control systems and customisable options. It produces custom hydraulic presses and press lines for general metal forming applications; hotstamping; deep draw; forging; transfer; extrusion; coining; die spotting; hydroforming; elastoforming; superplastic forming; compression moulding and more.
Spanish manufacturer MECAMAQ manufactures custom hydraulic presses. In 2014, it moved its operations to a new factory to increase its capacity and build‘ larger and more powerful” machines.
Mossini SpA offers conventional eccentric presses; mechanical presses with Link- Drive( slow motion); eccentric presses with programmable slow motion

Presses and lines for hot forming, forging and ring-rolling mills are also featured. Production line options include automotive tandem / transfer lines; blanking lines; hydraulic press lines and household appliance lines.
NEFF Pressen, formed in 1947, is a manufacturer of hydraulic presses and manufacturing / hot forming lines for the complete forming industry. The NEFF SERVO- Drive combines hydraulics with advanced servo drive technology. Its hot forming lines feature hydraulic presses, a heating furnace and automation( robots and / or feeders). For sheet metal forming, it offers one-sided and double-sided hydraulic presses as well as two- and four-column presses.
The Nidec Press & Automation brand brings together Minster; Arisa; Kyori; Vamco; CHS; SYS Automatic Feed Company and, in October 2024, Canadian-based Linear Automation Inc. products to the market. NP & A group products therefore include presses, equipment and automation around the press such as material handling and high-speed roll feeding solutions. The group operates a shared global customer service network with major service centres in Minster, Ohio( USA); Mexico; Germany, Spain and China. A fully integrated high-speed stamping system will be demonstrated at Nidec Press & Automation’ s stand at Blechexpo 2025 in Germany this October. NP & A’ s portfolio includes high-speed presses running at 2400 strokes per minute to 5000-ton servo presses, as well as automation( advanced high-speed feeds to custom-engineered turnkey systems) and high-tensile coil lines. The Nidec Arisa GS2“ Global” Servo Series press has a capacity range of 3150 to 8000kN and has been configured for manufacturing in North America, Europe and China.
The range of Nidec Arisa stamping technologies encompasses servoblanking, tryout and multi-purpose presses, as well as presses for transfer / progressive dies. Automation and software solutions are also available. NP & A products include a selection of mechanical and servo stamping presses; high-speed automation machinery; controls and integrated solutions. The Kyori VX-50 high-speed press features Nidec

SYS feeding systems. Nidec Kyori ANEX presses are designed for automated highspeed blanking and bending operations. The company has more than thirty years of expertise in Link-Motion press technology.
OMERA specialises in automatic lines and integrated production projects. It designs and produces trimming / beading machines, energy-saving mechanical and hydraulic presses and automatic lines for turnkey production processes. It has long experience in the construction of strainhardening machines. At FABTECH in Chicago this September, OMERA will present its R400-I trimming-beading machine, as well as its hydraulic and mechanical presses plus automation. OMERA completed the acquisition of TIMAC Srl in January this year.
The QIH 200 URC ® from Quintus Technologies.
Quintus Technologies specialises in the design, manufacture, installation and support of high-pressure systems for sheetmetal forming and densification of advanced materials and critical industrial components. It produces fluid cell presses for sheet hydroforming and similar sheet metal forming applications. Its Flexform press process requires only one rigid tool half; the other tool half is a flexible rubber diaphragm under uniform hydrostatic pressure.
It has also developed High-Pressure Warm Forming( HPWF) that combines high pressure with a moderately elevated temperature for more rapid and efficient fabrication of titanium parts. It offers hot, warm and cold isostatic presses. Headquartered in Västerås, Sweden, it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Kobe Steel. In 2024, it introduced the QIF 600L High Pressure Processing( HPP) system, with a 600-litre cycle capacity, and a new QIH 200 URC ® large-format Hot Isostatic Press.
