The press style shown in the illustrations is the Neotecman press, built in Girona, Spain. Company co-founder Manel Domingo worked in the family forging business, Metalurgica Domingo S.A. During that time from 1981 to 2003, he developed seven different prototype hydraulic presses of this style and became a pioneer in this

field. In 2004, he startedNeotecman with partner Carles Esteve and offered this technology to the forging marketplace. This was the first brass forging system to integrate the furnace and bar shearing into the press proper.
