Rotometrics' 50th anniversary

In 1957, Richard R. Rosemann, founder of Roto-Die, later to become RotoMetrics, began designing and manufacturing simple rotary dies in St. Louis, Missouri in the US, for the earliest flexographic press manufacturers.

In the 50 years that followed, those first innovative Roto-Die tools helped create a new global industry.

RotoMetrics not only helped to create an industry, but has remained frontrunners by helping the industry to grow, prosper and thrive; from offering hardened blades and chrome-plated dies in the 1960s, through adding fully hardened tool steel dies, print cylinders and other rotary tools to our product line in the 1970s, to becoming the first manufacturer of rotary tooling to automate their processes by adding CNC machining capabilities, which ultimately replaced the pantograph for die manufacturing.

With the opening of RotoMetrics International in the U.K. in 1989, RotoMetrics became the first manufacturer of rotary tooling to open an international office. Locations in other countries followed, leading to the global presence RotoMetrics enjoys today, with offices and representatives in Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and India.
