From Munich-Bavaria, Germany to downtown Boston, Adolph Bauer traveled a pioneer's route during the early 20th century. By 1925, having brought to this country the meticulous techniques and teachings of the European metalcraft masters, Mr. Bauer would open a shop at 81 Washington Street and receive commissions  for engraving that this region and nation had not yet seen. He also incorporated the creation of embossing dies for the greeting card industry within his ever-expanding capabilities.

Success bred success. Mr. Bauer took on apprentices and over saw the evolution of his company from single commission production to precision die manufacturing.

Today, as we celebrate the inspiration of Adolph Bauer, we turn our attention toward future challenges. Within our present Holbrook facility, our craftsman manufacture quality embossing and foil stamping dies in partnership with advertising agencies, design studios, greeting card companies and communications designers within the cosmetics, food and beverage, consumer product and technical packaging industries worldwide.
