New products. Company news. We are constantly moving. For your perfomance.
In 2023, we will be able to look back on 100 years of company history. After this special event, the next big event for us is already waiting to happen next year: In one year – exactly on May 28, 2024 – the leading trade show of the printing and packaging industry, drupa in Düsseldorf, will finally take place again.
We are at home in the packaging industry. Almost 100 years ago, we began in Heilbronn as a 3-man business with a small workshop measuring 36 m² (4 x 9 m). Today the company has 1,600 employees worldwide at many locations around the globe. In Heilbronn alone, the total area for production and administration is 24,352 m².
As a result of this expansion, space in the existing buildings has repeatedly become cramped over the years. As a consequence, new buildings and extensions have had to be built.
In addition to our comprehensive portfolio of cutting-dies, we also offer compatible storage systems. The Marbach Die Storage System (MDSS) has been designed for packaging manufacturers seeking optimally functioning in-house logistics.
We offer a range of blanking tools in our portfolio. One of the most popular tools on the market is the marbablanker. This blanking tool is characterized primarily by short set-up times and good handling during packaging production.
With our stripping technologies, we offer an extensive portfolio on the market for smooth processes and waste-free stripping. An important product, which is the basic requirement for a stable stripping process, is the precision set-up aid: marbapoint. It is used to position the upper and lower stripping parts with precision in relation to each other. The marbapoint is thus a simple and cost-effective way of optimizing the set-up process. As of now, a special magnetic holder is available for the marbapoint, which can be attached directly to the die-cutting machine.
On the 16th July, 1923, Karl Marbach Senior founded the Marbach company together with two partners. 100 years later, that small company has become a globally successful corporate group with over 1,600 employees. This represents 100 years of innovations, performance and tooling technology par excellence. But of course, this is not the company's first anniversary...
We possess an extensive portfolio of embossing technologies for you to choose from. With these, a wide variety of embellishment designs can be applied to packaging.
Embellishment technology embossing is mainly used for high-quality consumer goods, confectionery and cosmetics packaging, but of course also in the cigarette industry.
Almost 100 years ago, the Marbach Group was founded as a small craft business. Today, we are a firmly established player in the packaging industry. Over the years, Marbach has brought numerous technologies and innovations to the market, many of which have become standard in the industry. These include technologies and products such as rillma, mpower, marbastrip, the crease-plate-die or the greenplate, which have been successfully on the market for many years. But also, solutions of the latest generation like the DZL|plate or CONNECT|M. The name Marbach is all about a highly innovative company that regularly registers patents and sets market standards.
Last year, we introduced marbaject, our new high-performance rubber for corrugated board cutting-dies. In recent months, more and more customers have switched their cutting-dies to this special rubbering, because they are convinced of its advantages.
We offer various technologies for blanking in packaging production, and these can be selected individually according to your requirements. This ensures the optimal use of the blanking station.
The Marbach Group celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023. Despite the now sizeable company of more than 1,600 employees worldwide, Marbach has never forgotten its roots. Because Marbach is aware that the roots of the company's success story are found in the people, the employees, who have supported the company through the last 100 years.
We have published a new whitepaper on our knowledge platform, the Experience Hub, on the topic of optimizing make-ready times.
In 2023, Marbach, whose exciting success story is unique, will be 100 years. But how did we become the corporate group we are today? One of the most important decisions here was certainly the investment in the very first CO2 laser system for cutting-die production in Europe. In the years that followed, laser technology became a cornerstone of the success of the Marbach Group – and pioneering for the entire die-cutting technology worldwide.
We stand for high-performance tools and digital solutions. And with the DZL|plateXL, our customers with large-format machines can benefit from the many advantages of digital zone levelling.
The Marbach Group, has existed for almost 100 years. But we are not only a successful company and world market leader in our field, but also a successful exhibitor at many international trade fairs.
We are a system supplier for all tools that a print shop needs for die-cutting packaging. In addition to die-cutting and stripping tools, we also produce blanking tools.
In the blanking process, individual packaging blanks are separated from each other after the die-cutting or stripping process. This process can be done manually or mechanically. Mechanical blanking has many advantages, making the use of a blanking tool profitable even for simple layouts and short runs.
The lightblanker offers an easy entry point into machine blanking.
We celebrate a great milestone in 2023: the company will turn 100. In the 1920s, Karl Marbach Senior had managed to found a small craftsman's business and to successfully lead it out of the world economic crisis with the help of a new product – steel rule dies – as well as some new customers. (More about this in the first part of this series: "100 Years Marbach. 1923 - 1927: The founding years.") But only a short time later, the next difficult years were already approaching the infant company, as another worldwide crisis was soon to begin with the Second World War.
We not only supply you with die-cutting, stripping and blanking tools for the production of folding cartons, but also support you in increasing your performance in packaging production. For this purpose, we have the "Marbach Performance Package" service in our portfolio.
Marbach Die Supplies supplies both print shops and diemakers with machines, devices, materials and other equipment related to die-cutting. The portfolio also includes various solutions that make the user's work easier. Our latest solution is called trimknife|multi.
We have been a manufacturer of tools for the packaging industry for almost 100 years – worldwide. But this was not always the case. The company started as a small craft business in Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg. Back in 1923, it was far from foreseeable that the company would one day become a group with 1,600 employees and many trading partners, agents, joint ventures and representative offices worldwide. But it was above all the good network that the Marbach family built up over many decades that contributed significantly to the international success of the Marbach Group. Today, we are represented on almost all continents and is on site for our customers.
We are not only a specialist for tools and services around packaging production, but also supply equipment centered on die-cutting. This also includes cleaning devices for the cutting platen.
The reason why Leopold Verpackungen in Ludwigsburg (Germany) decided in favor of the mplaten|cleaner platen cleaning device from Marbach is explained by the plant manager Valeri Lach.
We have participated in the TOP 100 innovation competition and received the TOP 100 seal 2023. This award is only given to the most innovative companies of the German medium-sized business sector.
We celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2023. Such a long company history cannot be taken for granted in Germany, where less than 2% of companies have reached this milestone. But how did Marbach manage to grow from a small craftsman's business to a globally operating group of companies with 1,600 employees worldwide?
We are known for our innovative technologies that make life easier for the user. One of these is the split anvil, which ensures that packaging can be equipped with elegant and functional opening mechanisms.
In 1923, the Marbach company began as a 3-man workshop in Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg. 100 years later, the small craftsman business has become a global market leader operating worldwide. Today, the Marbach Group, with its 1,600 employees around the world, is a key partner for the global packaging industry.
Such a long company history cannot be taken for granted – in Germany only a little more than 1% of the companies ever reach 100 years. The fact that we have managed to achieve this, is due to many different factors.
Our story reads like an exciting novel.
In addition to materials for packaging manufacturers, our division Marbach Die Supplies also supplies equipment for the die-cutting process. This includes two mobile workbenches mbench|smart and mbench|pro. These are distinguished by their flexible application possibilities.
The workbenches in the mbench series are not only equipped with smooth-running heavy-duty wheels for flexible use, but also offer an ideal work surface, storage space for tools and materials, as well as the option of fitting them with suitable hand tools. This means that tools can be repaired and processed in a minimum of space.
With the Marbach lower pin unit, we have a tool on the market that is mainly used for jobs where the requirements for waste-free die-cut blanks are very high. This is because waste is stripped in an especially reliable way with the lower pin unit in these applications.
Lower pin units are used in the stripping station of a die-cutting machine. They are particularly useful when very small waste parts have to be stripped and when maximum reliability is required during stripping.
For us, an eventful but also successful year is coming to an end. Right at the beginning of the year, the war in Ukraine caused market turbulence and triggered a procurement crisis. We met these challenges with good planning and inventory management.
For many years now, we have traditionally donated 10,000 € to aid projects at Christmas under the motto "Donations instead of gifts". This year, due to the difficult situation in Ukraine, the management of Marbach decided to donate the entire amount to aid projects in connection with the war in Ukraine.
Our division Marbach Die Supplies has a large number of handheld devices in its portfolio. One that is small, but all the more clever for that, is the marbanick|2+. With it, defined nicks can be quickly and easily inserted into cutting rules.
We have launched a system solution for more digitalization in the die-cutting process. Interest in CONNECT|M has continued steadily over the past few months. Especially since new features are always available that make CONNECT|M even more attractive for the packaging manufacturer. Marbach also has planned a lot for 2023.
For almost 10 years, we have been offering a very special, dimensionally stable dieboard under the name "Marbach solidplate". Now this tool is available in a new aluminum version which, due to its low weight, demonstrates all its advantages especially for large folding box formats.
We have some very special technologies for the tobacco sector in our portfolio: The crease-plate-die|+ and crease-plate-die|rc not only ensure productivity during die-cutting, but also during the subsequent packaging process.
Our division Marbach Die Supplies has a comprehensive portfolio of materials for diemakers. This is also true for counter plates: Here, we supply individual solutions from simple creasing matrixes to cutting plates for the production of steel counter plates. However, the top seller for counter plates among us has been the same for some years: rillma+.
We have various technologies for blanking in our portfolio that can be individually selected depending on customer requirements and technical demands. These ensure the optimal use of the blanking station in packaging production.
Our division Marbach Die Supplies provides packaging manufacturers with materials for their daily needs, as well as equipment for their die-cutting environment. For high productivity in packaging production, not only the die-cutting machine and the die-cutting technologies that are used play a decisive role, but also a well-functioning die preparation. This is where handheld devices from Marbach come in.
With the calibration tool, we have a solution in our portfolio with which the individual working stations of a die-cutting machine as well as the upper and lower parts of a die-cutting machine can be perfectly matched to each other.
Our division Marbach Die Supplies provides diemakers worldwide with the materials, equipment and machines they need for the production of their tools. In order to be able to meet the special requirements for the production of packaging in the pharmaceutical sector, we offer the msteel embossing machine. This is used to produce male embossing forces that implement the embossing of Braille on packaging quickly, reliably and in accordance with the requirements.
The msteel embossing machine is used for the production of flat and rotary Braille male forces made of steel. With this machine, the process of embossing and marking the male force is fully automatic.

Marbach once again this year follows a long established company tradition: Marbach donates to different aid projects at Christmas under the motto "Donations instead of gifts". This year, Marbach will donate to two charity projects of the aid organization 'Help - Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V.', which seeks to combat the consequences of climate change: 6,000 euros will go to the national project 'Flood Relief Germany' and an additional 4,000 euros to the international Christmas project Zimbabwe.
Marbach has launched a new, groundbreaking system solution under the name CONNECT|M. With this, Marbach has achieved the transformation of a previously and largely analog process into a digital one. This offers completely new possibilities to the user. CONNECT|M provides cloud-based, digital connection of the cutting-die, the die-cutting machine and the user. The result is efficient die management in packaging production and key performance indicators at the touch of a button.
One machine upgrade, popular with Marbach customers, is the digital zone levelling DZL|plate. This protection plate is individually provided with a printed height profile and so can be adapted to the respective conditions of the die-cutting machine. The DZL|plate thus takes over the zone levelling of the machine, which reduces the make-ready times of the rules for each individual job.
Marbach not only has cutting-dies in its portfolio, but also systems for storing flat and rotary dies.
Marbach Die Supplies has launched a new device for notching rule materials in diemaking. Called mcut|notch-duo, this space-saving manual device is available now.

One of the first customers to use the alublanker is Marbach's long-standing partner MPS in Obersulm - a company of the Consumer Packaging Business of the WestRock Group. The Obersulm site produces high-quality folding cartons for the international perfume and cosmetics industry.
Marbach has published a new whitepaper for tobacco applications on its knowledge platform, the Experience Hub.
Marbach provides solutions to ensure top performance for its customers. In order to make packaging more attractive and to visually highlight individual elements of packing, the embellishment process of embossing is often used. As an eye-catcher, it increases the impact of a package at the point of sale. This then has a sales-promoting effect for the packaged product.
