Harry F Rochat Ltd

Welcome to our Website!

Harry F Rochat Ltd was first formed in 1969 by Harry Rochat and his son Leon Rochat. They both had worked in a company in Kings Cross that had been making presses of many kinds since 1900. After the closure of this organisation, Harry and his son Leon decided to commence manufacturing high quality printing presses. They set about designing a range of presses in a manner in which they believed they should be made.

Their traditional engineering background gave them the belief that none of the machines should be fabricated and very firm views on materials, techniques, and design.

This is something which has been borne out in the presses design since 1969. As a result, side frames, gears, handwheels and iron rollers are all cast to our specific requirements. The castings are carried out by a family run foundry in Birmingham and machined and finished in our small factory in Barnet.

The company has now moved into the third generation and they in turn are committed to continue the production of the current range of printing equipment, with the ambition to add to this range.
