Ga-Vehren was founded in 1966 to provide mechanical enhancements and productivity improvements for those involved in envelope, print and direct mail production. Early designs were in high-speed, rotary vacuum-folding, and paper transport. Additional projects led to edge gumming equipment and the world’s dominant, offline envelope latex- gumming machine called The Gum Master™, marketed by W & D Machinery of Overland Park, Kansas USA. In the 1970s, Ga-Vehren engineered and built web fiark, Kansas USA. In the 1970s, Ga-Vehren engineered and built web finishing systems for the business form industry, which required high speed, precise machines for attaching plastic cards and other paper documents to continuous paper. Subsequent requests involved the need to affix almost any item onto a sheet, signature, brochure, letterhead, envelope, direct mail package, or folding carton. This created a focus in sheet finishing for an ever expanding print and packaging industry.
