In 1991, Global Vacuum Presses was founded with a mission to reshape the vacuum press industry. Established by visionaries Anton Nabuurs and Teresa Ramirez, the company quickly became a leader in the manufacturing of advanced vacuum equipment for industrial applications, providing cutting-edge solutions for the transformation of materials such as wood, plastics, and composites.
From its inception, Anton and Teresa shared a bold vision of creating machinery that would revolutionize industrial processes. Anton, a skilled craftsman with a passion for designing industrial equipment, combined his technical expertise with Teresa’s business acumen and deep understanding of the international market. Together, they laid the foundation for a company that has thrived for over three decades.
Global Vacuum Presses has always been committed to innovation, quality, and adaptability, consistently evolving to meet the changing needs of the market. The company’s vacuum presses became essential across various industries, from furniture manufacturing to electronics production, and its reputation for excellence grew steadily.
As the company moved into the 21st century, it continued to invest in research and development, further cementing its position as a market leader in vacuum press technology. Sustainability and corporate responsibility also became core pillars of the business, reflecting the founders’ commitment to both social and environmental causes.
After 32 years of success, Global Vacuum Presses remains a benchmark in the industry. Following the passing of Anton Nabuurs in June 2024, leadership of the company transitioned to Teresa Ramirez and their sons, Misael and Anthony Nabuurs. The second generation of the family now leads the company, maintaining the core values of innovation, excellence, and customer satisfaction that Anton and Teresa established. Misael and Anthony have brought a modern perspective to the business, driving its expansion into new markets while continuing to innovate in the manufacturing of high-tech vacuum equipment.
At Global Vacuum Presses, the dedication to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction remains at the heart of everything we do, reflecting the original vision of our founders while embracing the dynamic leadership of the next generation.
