About Us

COE Press Equipment designs and manufactures a complete line of premiere coil handling and servo roll feed equipment including stand-alone roll feeds, straighteners, reels, cradles and air feeds as well as complete integrated lines.  We serve a wide variety of domestic and global markets and industries including automotive, metal processing, HVAC, contract stampers, appliance, lighting, housewares, lawn and garden, tool and die builders and many others. 

Founded in 1976 in Rochester, Michigan, COE originally manufactured air feeds and coil cradles.  Our business quickly grew to include coil reels and power straighteners, and our operations were moved to the current Sterling Heights location in 1980. Much of COE's success has been due to our philosophy of "service-first", leading to technology innovations that focus on improving customer operations.   In 1982, COE introduced its first servo feed, which launched the company into its own line of industry-leading servo feed controls and customized packages. Additionally,  COE was the first servo feed manufacturer to develop a single point entry interface  as well as the first to develop and market a servo feed driven by a non-stretch Kevlar timing belt and low inertia aluminum pulleys.

By developing global joint ventures projects and expanding our technology offerings through the acquisition of Sesco technology, we have continually been able to differentiate ourselves by offering a wider variety of solution choices to our customers.  At the same time, we have always promoted our own Research & Development and investment in our own manufacturing facilities and technologies leading to the design of bigger, more comprehensive coil processing lines. Today, we offer the heaviest and widest coil feeding systems available to the metal stamping industry. 

 About SESCO Products Group

In 1999, COE Press Equipment purchased certain assets and product designs from Sesco, Inc., leading to the development of the Sesco Products Group, a COE brand of equipment recognized for its robust design. With this purchase came a heritage of process engineering services and machine tool manufacture that began in 1938.

COE has leveraged this heritage and continues to offer Sesco-designed products as well as support the existing install base of Sesco Oscillating Shear Dies, Sesco Cradle-Straightener-Feeder lines, Sesco Washers/Oilers and Sesco Cut-to-Length lines. Mostly suited for the automotive, agricultural, appliance and contract stamper industries, the Sesco Product Group of offerings is recognized for its high product quality and ability to meet stringent requirements.
