Herman Schwabe was an American pioneer and innovator in the manufacture of
die cutting machinery, which later developed into the sophisticated hydraulic die
cutting presses we engineer and build today at Freeman SCHWABE’s
manufacturing plant in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
The key to the Herman Schwabe success was the engineering design of the press and
choice of materials.
The Herman Schwabe cutting presses are world renowned for efficient cutting and a
machine which is dependable.
Herman Schwabe simplified the most complex die cutting task with the Schwabe cutting
presses which are still technically advanced and the most versatile in the industry.
