STAMTEC / CHIN FONG PRESSES: Chin Fong was founded in Taiwan in 1948. As you can tell by the founding dates of the Japanese & Taiwanese builders, most of the press technology was copied from both Aida & Komatsu in Japan. Chin Fong was first imported into NA under the name of Stamtec by Timco Industrial Machinery in Tn. Ā Sutherland did join the efforts of Timco and reached an agreement that Sutherland would handle West of the Mississippi. This relationship did not last more than a few years, as Sutherland was focused on all of North America. This led Sutherland to Seyi / Shieh Yih who agreed that Sutherland would be the exclusive private label agent.
