Global Machine Manufacturing Company provides custom designed, built, and fully integrated equipment and systems for industries that include plastic composites, automotive, aerospace, pulp and paper, and building products. Recent developments in high capacity, automated manufacturing systems include Wind Turbine Blade Automation, Out-of-Autoclave Composite Press Systems, and Ultra-high Pressure Press lines for Plastic Armor. Starting in 1917, Globe developed as an engineering and manufacturing company supplying machinery for the Door and Plywood Industry. As the Composite Wood Panel industry developed in the 1960's and 1970's, Globe was involved in producing lines for some of the early particleboard, MDF and wafer board plants. As these industries matured, Globes involvement in the development of the North American OSB and Engineered Wood Industry stimulated growth in the company in terms of size and technical capabilities. Globes history includes leading the development of process technology areas such as Plywood Manufacturing, Wood I-Joists and other Engineered Wood Products, Panel Finishing and Coating, and integrated Automated Storage & Retrieval. These activities are significant worldwide, with major installations in North America, Europe, South America and Asia.
