Straub Design's founder, Melvin Straub, often talked about the thrill an engineer or designer experiences, "At the moment a machine you designed and built is turned on for the first time.” We’ve been getting and delivering those thrills to our customers since 1972. Today, Straub Design serves customers around the world, building standard-setting automatic tape application equipment.
