02 / Who we are

A History of Building What the Application Demands.

For over six decades, Neff Press has built its reputation on precision, reliability, and American craftsmanship.

Since 1965, Neff has designed and built custom presses around the part and the process. Heavy-duty hydraulic presses became the core of the business, with engineering kept in-house; we don't outsource our designs. Fully electric servo presses and complete turnkey automation followed.

Today, with more than 13,000 presses operating in factories across the U.S. and overseas, Neff Press is a family-owned American manufacturer working from a 57,000-square-foot headquarters in St. Louis.
