Cauhé Industries

What Cauhé Industries does

Cauhé Industries is a Spanish manufacturer of large-format industrial machinery for the graphic arts, corrugated packaging, and puzzle manufacturing industries, founded in 1965 and headquartered in Zuera, Zaragoza, Spain, as a subsidiary of the CAUHE group (a Spanish conglomerate with 70+ years of operating history). The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and operates a second sales-and-service office in Atlanta, Georgia, opened in January 2015 under the joint leadership of Juan Cauhe and Al Owens of DCS.

The company's product portfolio centers on four machine families: clamshell die cutters manufactured in over 30 standard sizes (46x66 cm to 200x330 cm) for cutting cardboard, paper, foam, corrugated board, and soft metals; hydraulic guillotines in two series (GH heavy-duty with automatic loader/unloader for 24/7 operations and GL medium-duty for short-run screen-print cutting), each offered in seven sizes from 170 cm to 420 cm; the PowerPress puzzle die cutter in two sizes with integrated chop-up, bagging, and missing-piece verification; and industrial drilling machines in five sizes. Differentiated engineering features include a motorised pressure adjustment system claimed to be globally unique among clamshell die cutter builders, laser-scanner safety systems incorporated since 2000, automatic lubrication, and programmable batch counters. All equipment carries CE marking and the die cutters are also certified to ANSI B65.5 for the North American market.

Cauhé operates a direct, quote-based B2B sales model with no publicly disclosed prices, supported by a multilingual website (Spanish, English, German), international trade-show participation (including Moscow), and on-site installation, transport, and maintenance services delivered worldwide. Revenue is generated from new machinery sales, custom adaptations, and a refurbished/used-equipment line resold with warranty. An upcoming product platform, Genesis by CAUHE, is described in marketing terms as the next-generation, most 'intelligent' machine in its category and is currently in testing ahead of launch.

• Fosber: Italian-headquartered manufacturer of corrugated machinery with strong North American presence. Comparable to Cauhé as a European-origin supplier serving global corrugated converters with converting equipment.
• Bobst Group: Swiss-based global leader in packaging and label machinery, including die-cutting equipment for folding cartons and corrugated converters. Directly comparable to Cauhé's die cutting and converting lines serving graphic arts and packaging customers.
• Comec Italia: Italian manufacturer of paper converting and finishing machinery, including cutting and creasing equipment. Comparable to Cauhé as a European specialty machinery supplier serving graphic arts and packaging converters.
• Wupa: Dutch manufacturer of paper and board cutting machinery, including large-format guillotines used in print finishing. Closely comparable to Cauhé's GH and GL guillotine series for the same screen-printing and packaging customers.

Broad incumbents

• Heidelberger Druckmaschinen (HEIDELBERG): German global incumbent in printing and packaging equipment with a broad post-press and finishing portfolio. Overlaps with Cauhé in serving graphic arts customers with cutting and finishing equipment, but operates at vastly larger scale across the full print value chain.
• Koenig & Bauer (KBA): German global incumbent in printing presses and post-press equipment. Broader and larger than Cauhé, but serves overlapping graphic arts customers with adjacent finishing and converting machinery.

Emerging players

• Zund: Swiss manufacturer of digital cutting systems for graphic arts, packaging, and signage. Comparable to Cauhé as a European cutting-machinery specialist, though Zund focuses on digital cutting rather than mechanical die cutting and guillotines.
