Marbach is expanding in North America. Tru-Fit becomes part of the group.

We are further expanding our presence in the USA: In June 2025, Marbach America, Inc. is taking over the US company Tru-Fit Steel Rule Die, based in Germantown, Wisconsin. The company will operate under the name Marbach America, Inc. – Germantown.

“We are excited to welcome the Tru-Fit team to the Marbach family,” said Fernando Pires, CEO of Marbach America. “The Germantown location not only expands our presence, but also allows us to enter the rotary corrugated market. Combined with our locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Michigan City, Indiana, this creates a strong network for our customers in the US.”

Michael Piefer, former owner and president of Tru-Fit, is optimistic about the future too: “Integrating into an internationally operating company group is a big step for the team in Germantown. It opens up long-term prospects, secures further growth and strengthens our market position. I am looking forward to the next developments for our team and our customers.”

The new Tru-Fit location brings us closer to our customers in the US, enabling it to provide even more personalized service and offer solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of local markets.
