LOOMIS PRODUCTS was founded by David Loomis in 1917, in Caldwell, New Jersey . He started out with laboratory test presses, such as the hand wheel operated press shown right.
By the early fifties, the company had graduated to the design and patenting of piston extrusion presses with enough power and capacity to be used as factory production machines for the forming of clays, ceramics a nd metal powders.
In the 1960 s the era of the large isostatic wet bag press and the automatic dry bag isostatic press began. In this time, Loomis patented the master bag seal for the dry bag isostaic press, which is used in all dry bag isostatic pressing systems today.
In 1965, Karl W. Kahlefeld who attained his engineering degree in Kaiserslautern , joined LOOMIS engineering via the purchase of Loomis Engineering Co. by Midvale Heppenstall, a steel company located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania .
In 1970 as chief design engineer, Mr. Kahlefeld acquired LOOMIS PRODUCTS COMPANY and relocated operations to the present location in Levittown, Penns ylvania .
LOOMIS PRODUCTS� Kahlefeld GmbH was launched in 1990 to accommodate the European, Middle East and African market and is now owned and operated by Pia Kahlefeld.
Over the past decade, LOOMIS has attained many first's in the field of machine equipment used for forming in the powdered ceramics, metals, refractory and plastic industry and continues to revolutionize the industry with innova tive, state of the art, economic and practical standard and custom equipment.
