Hercules Machine Tool & Die Expansion Powered by Electrex Industrial Solutions - 58 Years & Counting

Hercules Machine Tool & Die’s key to expansion over the last five decades has included an important fifty-eight year partnership with Electrex Industrial Solutions as their go-to industrial electrical contractor. Their partnership began in 1957, with Electrex founder Larry Page Sr. wiring buildings for an early Hercules expansion. The relationship has continued through Electrex’s second-generation leadership, and Electrex’s own expansion into industrial automation and controls for stamping presses, through its Rexcon division.

At the Hercules plant in Warren, MI, Rexcon wired and installed controls on a 4,000 ton Danly straight side stamping press with hydraulic cushions and four 1,000 ton underdrive presses. They are currently undertaking a massive upgrade of thirty tryout presses at Hercules and their sister company, Positive Industries. This project includes upgrading the wiring and controls to equip the tryout presses for production press capability — designed to meet increased demand for third-party production stamping requests from the auto industry.
