Proven Transfer Press Technology for Mission-Critical Manufacturing

U.S. Baird transfer presses have been trusted to manufacture some of the world's most demanding precision components. Today, that legacy continues through U.S. Baird LLC, backed by the manufacturing expertise and defense industry experience of Bliss Munitions Equipment.

Key Advantages

From ammunition components to precision metal parts, U.S. Baird's cam-driven transfer press technology delivers the speed, repeatability, and long-term reliability required for high-volume production environments where consistency is non-negotiable.

High-Volume Precision

Defense manufacturing demands equipment capable of maintaining extremely tight tolerances over millions of cycles. U.S. Baird transfer presses are engineered specifically for that challenge.


Advantages to choosing Bliss & U.S. Baird: high-speed production with exceptional repeatability, positive part transfer through every station, reduced operations via complete progressive forming, and durability with lifetime support.

Continuous Support

U.S. Baird & Bliss Munitions customers gain access to both generations of transfer press knowledge; all backed by an American team committed to preserving and advancing the U.S. Baird legacy.


U.S. Baird customers succeed because we provide: new transfer press manufacturing, replacement parts and components, engineering and technical support, rebuilds and modernization, tooling and long-term lifecycle service.

Rooted in Know-How

Modern defense production requires more than machine tools. It requires dependable manufacturing partners. Now part of the Bliss family, U.S. Baird combines its expertise with an organization deeply rooted in defense.


Every use benefits from the same core principle that has defined us for generations: producing more parts with more consistency, in less time. This approach has made U.S. Baird a trusted solution throughout North America, Europe, and more.

Supporting the Defense Industrial Base.

U.S. Baird transfer presses are well suited for defense manufacturers producing high-volume precision metal components, including:

Small Caliber Components

High-speed transfer press systems for the production of small caliber ammunition components, including high-volume forming and multi-stage operations requiring precise, repeatable results.

Metallic Cartridge Cases

Transfer press technology for high-volume cartridge case production, supporting demanding drawing, forming, ironing, and finishing operations with consistent dimensional control.

Deep-Drawn Components

High-production forming of deep-drawn components requiring multiple sequential operations. Baird transfer presses provide precise forming through multi-stage processes.

Projectile Components

Precision forming solutions for projectile components where repeatability, material flow, and tight dimensional tolerances are critical to downstream assembly and performance.
