What Edge Manufacturing Technologies does

Edge Manufacturing Technologies is an independent manufacturer's representative firm that sells, applies, and integrates automation equipment for lean manufacturing on behalf of 12+ principal manufacturers across the Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes regions. The company, formerly known as Baumann Machinery before a recent rebrand, employs four people — President Kurt Sieber (38 years of industry experience), Director of Operations Greg Sieber, Sales/Engineering Consultant Joe Miranda, and Sales Engineer Dan Coppersmith (joined early 2026 from Bihler of America) — organized along territory-based account coverage spanning Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Long Island NY, Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Michigan.

The company's go-to-market is consultative field sales of capital equipment spanning precision presses (Schmidt), ultrasonic welding (Sonics & Materials), plastic assembly (Extol), leak testing (ATEQ), riveting (Baltec), conveyors (Direct Conveyor), parts feeding (Service Engineering), screw driving (DEPRAG), structural aluminum framing (Controlled Dynamics' patented Angle-Lock system), welding (AMADA Weld Tech), grinding (American Grinding), and cam-driven motion control (Gate/CDS). Products are either sold as standalone units or integrated into factory automation lines. The firm also operates the annual Edge Manufacturing Technology Show (EMTS), a free regional trade show held at a 7,000 sq. ft. venue in King of Prussia, PA, featuring exhibitor demonstrations and technical seminars.

Revenue is generated purely on a commission basis from principal manufacturers on the sales the reps originate and integrate, with no disclosed pricing, contract terms, or financials. The firm is privately held, bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), and operates from a headquarters at The Alloy by Doubletree in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Distribution is direct field sales by territory; demand generation is event-driven (EMTS), supplemented by LinkedIn presence and a newsletter. The company explicitly markets itself as a "go-to partner" reducing costs and increasing efficiency via custom-tailored, lean-manufacturing solutions.

Core offering

Edge Manufacturing Technologies is an independent manufacturer's representative firm that sells, applies, and integrates state-of-the-art automation equipment from a roster of twelve principal manufacturers for manufacturing customers in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes regions. Its offering is consultative: territory-based sales engineers match customers to principals' equipment (welding, presses, riveting, conveyors, feeders, leak testing, structural aluminum framing, motion control, screwdriving, plastic assembly, grinding) and support integration of those products as standalone systems or components of factory automation lines that support lean manufacturing. The firm also runs the annual EMTS trade show and educational seminars to bring principals and customers together.

Product overview

Edge Manufacturing Technologies is a manufacturing sales representative firm (formerly Baumann Machinery) specializing in the sales, application, and integration of state-of-the-art automation equipment for the Mid-Atlantic region. The company operates as a multi-brand distribution network representing 12 principal manufacturers rather than as a single unified product platform. Their portfolio encompasses precision presses (SCHMIDT Technology), ultrasonic welding (Sonics & Materials), plastic assembly (Extol), leak testing (ATEQ), riveting (BalTec), conveyor systems (Direct Conveyors), parts handling/feeder bowls (Service Engineering), screw driving (DEPRAG), structural aluminum framing (Controlled Dynamics), welding (AMADA WELD TECH), grinding (American Grinding), and precision motion control (Gate/CDS). These products can function as standalone systems or integrate as components in factory automation, supporting lean manufacturing processes. The company also organizes the annual EMTS trade show featuring seminars and demonstrations of these technologies.
