About Globe Machine Manufacturing Co.

Starting in 1917, Globe Machine developed as an engineering and manufacturing company supplying machinery for the door and plywood industry. As the composite wood panel industry developed in the 1960s and 1970s, Globe was involved in producing lines for some of the early particleboard, MDF, and wafer board plants. As these industries matured, Globe’s involvement in the development of the North American OSB and engineered wood industry stimulated growth throughout the company in terms of size and technical capabilities.

Today, Globe is a premier supplier of custom-designed, built, and fully integrated equipment and systems for industries that include plastic composites, automotive, aerospace, pulp & 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.
