| | Amdek, Inc. originated in 1991 by Robert Tetzlaff, the son of a naturalized citizen Roger W. Tetzlaff, who immigrated to the United States in 1949 as an indentured servant. Robert was trained “old world school,” meaning if you ran or sold a machine, you learned how to build one. He went to Germany for 10 months as an apprentice at Battenfeld GMBH to learn all aspects of building a molding machine.
He started on the ground floor of pad printing as an independent sales representative in the early 1980s when ITW Transtech came to the United States. Since 2018, Amdek has been the official distribution partner for ITW Transtech.
In the fall of 2016, Amdek Inc. purchased Dave Shepard Enterprises in Hillsboro, OR. We are headquartered in Somerville, AL, with additional decorating facilities in Baileyton, AL and Newberg, Oregon.
The Amdek team takes pride in almost 30 years of hands-on-service, old-world values, superior products, start-up assistance, and pure loyalty and dedication to all their customers. | |
