Turnersville, NJ- June 2007- Weidhaas LLC, an innovator in the clamshell press industry, announces that Amex Die Cutting Services in South El Monte, CA installed a Weidhaas Crest Clamshell 30x43..
Steve Lebs, General Manager of Amex Die Cutting Services, first saw the Crest Clamshell at the 2005 Odyssey Show, and was impressed by the Crest’s solid steel construction, computer-operated dwell and safety features.
“We were impressed by the quality of the Crest Clamshell, but what really cinched it was when I spoke to T.D. Christian at San Diego Die Cutting,” said Lebs. “His press is a 14-year-old, early model Crest and it still kiss cuts with precision. We know that the Crest will be a workhorse today and for years to come.”
