Background
 Founded in 1987, Formax is a privately held company with corporate headquarters based in Dover, New Hampshire, and manufacturing facility located in Turlock, California.
The company was originally established in 1987 to specialize in the direct sales and service of paper processing equipment throughout the New England area. This simple beginning still plays a critical role today in providing first-hand sales and service knowledge to our engineering group for both product refinement and new product development.
In 1993, the Formax brand was first introduced and offered through resellers nationwide. The original products introduced included industrial bursters, decollators and mergers for processing continuous-feed business forms. In the following years, the company introduced a tabletop inserter range as well as other complementary products focused on laser printer generated cut-sheet applications.
 In 1996 the company designed and introduced the first AutoSeal® pressure sealer for processing pressure sensitive one-piece mailers. The AutoSeal product line utilized patented Formax technology to deliver a post-printing solution far superior to older technologies using heat, water or live-glue.
Today, the AutoSeal product line includes four desktop solutions as well as two high-volume units for Fortune 500 companies and mailhouses. The company recently introduced the AutoSeal 2052IL System which connects to model-specific laser printers, allowing users to print, fold and seal one-piece mailers in a streamlined, secure one-step process.
In 2002, Formax introduced the newly designed FD 340/FD 380 paper folders now commonly seen in departments, schools and churches throughout the world. These folders also introduced new features such as a dedicated stapled-set feeder for folding multiple pieces of paper at once, as well as a telescoping conveyor capable of holding high volumes of finished product.
In 2003, Formax acquired a main vendor in FTI, formerly known as the FHE Division of Tab Products in Turlock, CA. FTI is an affiliate company of Formax focused exclusively on the design and engineering of new products to further automate paper and mailflow around the world. |
