About CINCINNATI

CI traces its history to the late 1890s as The Cincinnati Shaper Company and has built metal fabrication equipment since the early 1920s; the company describes itself as made in the USA since 1898.

Its press brake line runs from the compact electric Goform and the Xi value range through the XFORM family (hydraulic, hybrid and custom) to large Proform and Autoform machines of 400 to 2,000 tons in single or tandem configurations. CI sells direct in the U.S. with factory-trained service technicians.
