Company Story
A family business shaped by engineering experience and customer-specific machinery
Global Vacuum Presses was founded in 1991 by Anton Nabuurs and Teresa Ramirez to develop practical vacuum press technology for manufacturers working with wood, solid surface, plastics and composite materials. From the beginning, the company focused on combining technical expertise with close customer support, helping businesses choose, configure and operate machines for their own production challenges.
Today, Global Vacuum Presses remains a family-run company, with the next generation involved in the business and a continued focus on long-term customer relationships.

Engineering and Production
From machine design to assembly, testing and installation
One in-house team manages machine design, production, testing and technical support.
Custom machine design
Vacuum presses can be configured around material type, working dimensions, heating requirements and production workflow.
In-house assembly and testing
Mechanical, vacuum, heating and control systems are assembled and checked before delivery.
Installation, handover and support
Machines are adapted for solid surface, woodworking, thermoforming, plastics, composites and other industrial materials, with support for setup, operator training and production start-up.
Research, Development and Training Centre
Test materials, validate processes and train operators before production
Global Vacuum Presses supports customers with feasibility studies, material trials and operator training for vacuum press applications. The R&D and training centre helps define adhesives, temperatures, cycle times and vacuum pressure settings before a machine enters production.
Feasibility studies and material testing
Test solid surface, wood, plastic, composite and specialty materials under realistic vacuum press conditions before committing to a production process.
Process parameters and adhesive selection
Evaluate adhesive behaviour, heating requirements, temperature curves, cycle times and vacuum pressure to define a reliable manufacturing process.
Operator training and production support
Train operators on machine use, material handling, process setup and production routines so teams can start with confidence after installation.
