CINCINNATI® Incorporated (CI) has proudly served American manufacturing for more than 125 years. Today, the company continues to offer innovative solutions to enhance the operator experience while advancing productivity. Fabtech attendees (October 15-17, 2024) looking to enhance shop floor operations can get a first-hand look at what CI has to offer at exhibit space S13085.
Marketing Manager, Nikki Stenzel explained that the event offers attendees a unique opportunity to see that American pride is alive and well at CI.
“Fabtech is North America’s premier metal fabrication event, and we’re excited to show the industry what we’re all about,” said Stenzel. “Our show theme is "American Owned – American Built", highlighting the essence of owning a CINCINNATI machine. But this isn’t just a slogan for a week, month, or even a year. These words are a part of our history and embedded in our DNA. And this pride encapsulates the entire owner and operator experience - from the quality of our machines to the craftsmanship and innovation of the team that builds it.”
CI will hold daily demonstrations throughout the event showing the life cycle of an assembly. This will include issues that a production facility might typically face along with how the software can pivot to address these issues.
Attendees will also get a look at the company’s latest press brake, welding, and laser cutting technology along with related automation. Learn more about CI’s Fabtech initiative by visiting: www.e-ci.com/fabtech-2024.

Laser Cutting: What is Fabtech without fiber lasers? With a wide range of power (5kw to 15kw), CI’s CLX fiber laser can handle a wide variety of material types and sizes. The hardware-based back-reflection protection allows the processing of highly reflective metals with no interruptions or damage to the laser.

EZ Bend Technology: CI’s EZ Bend cell uses cobot technology to simplify programming. Because it’s not tied to any one press brake, operators can roll EZ Bend to other press brakes and use it where needed. Make it a point to see how EZ Bend is transforming bending operations.
Folds of Honor
CINCINNATI is showcasing its partnership with the Folds of Honor charity by designing two limited edition machines. The sale of these machines will result in a significant donation to the Folds of Honor charity at the show. Attendees are invited to this special event on Tuesday, October 15th at 9:00 AM in the CINCINNATI exhibit.
Christina March, owner of CINCINNATI, Inc., explained that while philanthropy has always been a staple for the company, the Folds of Honor charity takes on a very special meaning.
“CINCINNATI has a long history of supporting our country’s safety and freedom. Throughout the 1940s we shifted production for several years to support the war effort. And today, we employ a large number of veterans, first responders, and others who volunteer their time in such areas.
Folds of Honor provides scholarships for families of the military and first responders who have been lost or disabled in the line of duty. Such worthy causes reflect our values and beliefs, and we are honored to offer our support.”
More than a Machine
Business Unit Leader, Matt Garbarino explained that, for CINCINNATI, Fabtech extends far beyond showcasing machines and collecting leads.
“As much as we want to promote our company and technology, Fabtech is just as much about learning about what people are experiencing and what’s going on in their shop. This allows us to further enhance our offerings and remain focused on what’s really important to current and future customers.
When you buy a CINCINNATI machine, you really are buying our company and people. We hope that someone will have that machine for decades to come, and they’ll be talking about it to their colleagues, their daughters, their sons, or whoever else might come into business.”
