We are Schober USA

The company was initially based in Weimarstraße followed by Senefelderstraße in Stuttgart from 1954 onwards.

The development of a rotary creasing and cutting machine in 1956 set a significant milestone in the history of the company. More than 3,000 machines of this type have been sold worldwide till now.

In 1957 Schober attended its first exhibition in Lausanne (CH), which was a major international breakthrough in sales. 

One year later, in 1958, Schober started its production of rotary punching tools.

In 1971, the company building at Industriestrasse 12 in Hochdorf was acquired and the mechanical engineering department was relocated there.

The first cutting rollers and installation modules for the hygiene industry were manufactured in 1976.

In 1977, the company premises in Industriestrasse 2 were also acquired and tool production was relocated accordingly. 

In the early 1980s, NG tools with carbide punches and bushes were developed and sold for the endless industry, of which around 20,000 pairs are still in use today.

Over the course of this decade, more and more label cutting units were supplied. At this time, Schober already had a Europe-wide sales network and around 70 employees.

In 1987 a building expansion was added to the location at Industriestraße 2 to increase the production area to almost 4,000 m² and to provide a showroom and office area of approx. 1,800 m². The development of tools and machines increased by leaps and bounds in all branches of industry. 

The first carbide cutting tools and hot stamping modules for the hygiene industry were supplied in 1989.

The company FMB was founded in Zwickau in 1991. 

In 1995 Jiarui (China), Schokar (Hong Kong) and Schober USA, Inc. (Cincinnati, Ohio) were founded.

In 1999 Schober reorganized its production area and built a new building to house the manufacturing facility. This addition increased the available production area at headquarters to approx. 5,500 m². In the following years, several converting machines had been developed. Schober was able to strengthen its position as one of the worldwide leading suppliers of rotary die cutting, creasing and punching tools.

The Schobertechnologies GmbH was founded in 2010 and Schober GmbH was transformed into Schober GmbH Holding. In 2011 Schobertechnologies took over the operative business from Schober GmbH, a starting point of the next generation in company history. 

In 2012 Schobertechnologies presented at Drupa (D) a rotary die cutting machine for Inmould Labels with a twin robot display allowing the first time web converters to stack convoluted products in an economic way. 

In 2018 further development of the RSM770-DIGI-VARICUT, introduced in 2017, for the further processing of digitally printed materials. Introduction of an extremely low-vibration high-performance cutting module with automatic cutting cylinder quick lift device. Development of rotary cutting and perforating modules in high-performance blister packaging machines.

First-time presentation of a specially developed and globally unique roll processing machine for paper, film and cardboard at Interpack. The hybrid concept enables the use of cutting and creased sheets for medium and short runs, particularly in the field of digital printing.
