POST WAR GROWTH
At the end of the war, Dake purchased a line of arbor presses
and hand-hydraulic presses. By the mid-1950s, the small line
of presses had expanded to 170 models. A move to a new factory
in 1957 gave Dake room and capacity to expand into larger
custom-engineered hydraulic presses. Soon Dake was shipping
250 to 600 ton presses all over the world for a wide variety
of manufacturing applications such as straightening props
in shipyards, compression molding jet engine components,
die tryout, steel rule die cutting floppy disks, and straightening
steel bars and plates.
