About Bertsch

Bertsch was founded in 1879 and has earned worldwide recognition as a leader in the manufacturing of innovative, heavy duty metal forming equipment.

Even before the turn of the century, Bertsch built many designs and types of shears, press brakes, power rolls, punches, rivets and other equipment.

As the industry progressed, Bertsch research and development used advanced technology for design innovations that meet today’s demands for quality, increased output and lower production costs.

Bertsch introduced many technological firsts:

• The first electronically leveled, all hydraulic, planetary driven Four Roll bending machine in the United States

• The first steel plate bending roll for nuclear submarine and power plant applications

• The first heavy plate roll for fabrication of offshore drilling jackets.

Bertsch experience guarantees reliability, Bertsch construction guarantees ruggedness, and Bertsch designs guarantee advanced technology today and into the future.

Bertsch became a member of the MegaFab family in 2003, joining Piranha (ironworkers, press brakes and shears) and Whitney (plasma/punch machines, laser cutting machines, portable punch presses). MegaFab is the leader in the machine tool market serving the plate and structural steel industries.
