Since our founding in the late 1890’s as The Cincinnati Shaper Company, CINCINNATI Incorporated has built its reputation on t ... hree principles: innovation, performance and endurance. We built on our leadership with those early machines to begin manufacture of metal fabrication equipment in the early 1920's, and this remains our primary focus. Our drive for innovation is evident in the design of our machines, controls and software. We developed the first linear-motor-driven laser cutting systems, and still produce our own linear motors, controls and software – unique in the industry. BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) is the world's largest 3D printer. Our machines' endurance is legendary. It is common to see Depression-era CINCINNATI press brakes and shears in daily use today. In fact, one of our first commercial laser cutting systems from the eighties is still in operation. This means low cost of ownership for our customers and high resale values. Performance? CINCINNATI machines consistently top owner surveys for dependability and satisfaction. We sell direct in the U.S. and our service technicians are factory-trained employees. Parts are ordered through and shipped from our corporate headquarters in Harrison, Ohio. We continue to demonstrate a young outlook and willingness to embrace new ideas and technology – while staying true to our heritage in innovation, endurance, performance. read more
