Northbrook, IL-based Chicago Cutting Die celebrates 80 years of serving the converting industry this year.
Founded by Swedish immigrant Frank Anderson in 1923, Chicago Cutting Die was first located at Belmont & Western in the city of Chicago. Originally a blacksmith shop, the company's first dies were used for cutting labels, envelopes and even shoes.
Today, Anderson's grandsons, Lyle and Jim Archer, continue to run the manufacturing business. While there's still an operating anvil in the shop, Chicago Cutting Die now operates on the latest CAD-CAM systems with the power and accuracy to cut within +/-0.0002 in.
Chicago Cutting Die counts among its nationally-renowned customers such converters as Kimberly Clark, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble, to conceptualize and build high-tech rotary cutting dies. These CCD dies cut diapers, incontinence products, bandages, facial wipes and many popular flexible-packaging products.
