History
In 1962 Alphonse Stroobants, a Belgian immigrant opened „Belgium Tool and Die“ in Lynchburg, USA, a business specialized in high quality precision machining.
In 1975, the introduction of an advanced rotary can cutting machine enabled „Belgium Tool and Die“ to capture a world-wide market and make the transition to „Belvac Production Machinery“. The success with this product established Belvac’s credibility, allowing in 1978 to expand into related machinery markets with the development of a bottom coating machine. In 1982 Belvac bought the Colorado division of Irvin Industries, which was the established manufacture of a necking machine licensed from Coors. Belvac then applied its high standards and innovative improvements to the original Irvin design. The resulting Belvac Necker set production standards world-wide.
