SCHMIDT Technology Corporation
US arm of SCHMIDT Technology GmbH (est. 1938, Germany); supplies manual, pneumatic, hydro-pneumatic, electric, and ServoPress assembly presses since 1992.
SCHMIDT Technology Corporation is the North American subsidiary of SCHMIDT Technology GmbH, a family-owned precision engineering company headquartered in St. Georgen, Germany (Black Forest region). The parent company was founded in 1938 by brothers Hermann and Wilhelm Schmidt to supply precision parts to the clock industry, later pivoting to writing instrument manufacturing in the 1950s and subsequently developing its own high-precision press machinery to meet internal production requirements.
The US entity, located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, has served the American manufacturing market with SCHMIDT assembly presses and technical support since 1992. The US office operates a mobile showroom — the 'SCHMIDT ExPress Bus' — to provide hands-on product demonstrations, and supports customers through an extensive network of manufacturer's representatives across North and South America.
The product portfolio encompasses six main categories of assembly presses: manual toggle presses (bench-top models for low-volume press-fit and staking operations), pneumatic presses, hydro-pneumatic presses (combining air and hydraulic amplification for higher forces), electric presses, ServoPress systems with programmable force and distance profiles, and torque press offerings. The company also supplies press controls and software, including the PRC700 press control unit, which enables force-distance curve monitoring and process documentation. Additional automation components and modules are available for integration into automated assembly lines.
The parent SCHMIDT Technology GmbH employs approximately 400 people worldwide, exports to over 80 countries, and operates in three divisions: presses, writing instrument technology, and sensors (the sensor division was created in 1983 to produce piezoelectric acceleration sensors). The company's long-standing precision heritage from Black Forest watchmaking underpins its quality positioning. SCHMIDT Technology Corporation is exhibiting at AUTOMATE 2026 in Chicago.
