Ajax/CECO/Erie Press is a forging machinery manufacturer with 145 years of engineering experience behind every press, hammer, and forming machine we build. Industrial manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, energy, and defense trust our equipment to keep production running for decades.
Buying an Ajax/CECO/Erie Press machine starts a relationship, not a transaction. Our engineers rebuild aging presses back to factory tolerances so a single failure never turns into a lost production week, and we keep spare parts in stock instead of routing orders through a supplier overseas.
Field technicians travel to your floor for maintenance checks before a part wears out, catching problems while they’re still cheap to fix. Our engineering team also takes on retrofits and modifications for machines we didn’t originally build, because keeping your line running matters more than where the original order came from.
Having this kind of forging press manufacturer support is why customers stay with us for decades.

145+ Years Behind Every Forging Machine We Build
Three respected forging names spent generations building equipment independently before joining forces under a single brand.
Today, that combined engineering knowledge lives inside a single team, and it shows: one of the presses shipped in 1909 is still running on a customer’s floor today, more than a century after it left the plant.
One Forging and Forming Equipment Manufacturer, Every Critical Industry
Rail lines, oil fields, and operating rooms all depend on parts that started on one of our presses. A single flawed forging can grind a train axle or fail inside a surgical implant, so the tolerances maintained in our shop carry real consequences once a part leaves our shop.
That’s why manufacturers in the highest-stakes industries keep returning to the same forging equipment manufacturer rather than gambling on someone new.
Most of the presses we ship this year are going to plants that already run at least one Ajax/CECO/Erie Press machine. Word travels fast on a shop floor when a supplier answers the phone the same day equipment goes down, and that reputation keeps our order book full of repeat customers.
The names on this page didn’t come from an ad campaign; they came from operators calling their old plant manager to ask who built the press down the hall. That’s the kind of trust we intend to keep earning, one machine at a time.
Downtime costs more than any machine we sell, and the presses running in competitors’ shops prove that better equipment pays for itself fast. Request a quote and get a straight answer on tonnage, lead time, and cost before you commit to anything.
