About us
OUR GOAL
The American Clicker Press Co has a goal of providing USA-built machines, with unparalleled, patented, industry disrupting technology by 2025. Die-cutting machinery has been losing pace with modern technology for almost 30 years. We intend to change that.
We believe that superior products start with superior presses.
Stay tuned to see what we have planned! It’s gonna be big!
*We are currently seeking engineers, software developers, and marketing experts. If you have experience in this industry and would like to be part of our goal, please contact us at 801-613-7997 ext 1002. We’d love to hear what you can contribute!
OUR STORY
The American Clicker Press Co was founded in 2017. With $20,000 and some lofty goals for building machines from the ground up in the USA, the founders designed, and built their first machine in a garage. The first few builds indicated that a drastic amount of money would be required to do this right, and that the US-market would need a little more time to prepare itself for US-built prices.
In January of 2019, and with the goal of bringing US-based manufacturing by 2025, the company pivoted to manufacturing in China according to stricter-than-normal standards, providing better components, superior standardization, boots on the ground service, better parts support, better warranties, and superior quality control from the USA. The Company also started providing add-value services for customer safety requirements and certifications, providing those customizations right here in the USA.
MEET THE TEAM
JOSEPH PERRY
Founder / Managing Member
Joseph Perry is the founder of the American Clicker Press Company. Joseph has had extensive experience in owning and operating small businesses starting with a string of property maintenance, pest control, and construction companies. After a time working for other companies in the die-cutting press and manufacturing industries, Joseph saw a large need for bringing higher-quality die-cutting systems to market with the middle-market price in mind. Careful sourcing of components and boots on the ground in the USA, providing high quality service, were the keys to this plan. With goals to bring manufacturing fully back to the USA by 2025, he wishes to be a leader in bringing newer, smarter technology to the industry and showing other manufacturing companies it is possible to compete with foreign manufacturers if we work smarter.
