About Malahide Design & Manufacturing Inc. :
A History in Hot Stamping : Malahide is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We make our home in a well-appointed, modern building that is situated close to major transportation routes : 10 minutes from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) 30 minutes to the Port of Vancouver docks 7 minutes from Highway 99 / I-5 to Seattle
Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city of 2.25 million people, located on Canada's West Coast. Surrounded by the ocean, mountains and forest, Vancouver combines a liberal, healthy lifestyle with a vibrant business community.
Malahide was founded in 1978 by Mr. Ian Birch. Born in London, England, Mr. Birch spent his youth apprenticing in mechanical design. Subsequent employment with several giants of the industry established the basis of his expertise in hot stamp machinery design. 40+ years later, Ian's designs form the core technology used in all of Malahide's products. Paul Birch acts as Sales Manager for Malahide, and is the principal contact for our high-end, executive clientele. Combining an MBA with 20 years in sales, and a lifetime spent around the hot stamping industry, Paul has a broad range of practical and theoretical tools to employ in the service of his clients.

Quality machines, begin with quality parts. Part quality is critical to our success, thus Malahide produces most all of our parts in-house. The production process begins with drawings produced with Computer Automated Design software. Parts are modeled and refined in the virtual world, and then virtual parts get assembled into virtual machines. Enabling us to simulate and test-run mechanisms prior to building the first part, this technology allows us to rapidly move new products and modifications from design to production.
The CAD drawings move-on to production in our newly fitted machine shop, which has doubled in size since 2006. Equipped with a streamlined CAD to CAM manufacturing system, we're now able to make more parts, more precisely than ever before. Produced in small batches, a variety of recently-added finishing processes complete the manufacturing task. Feeding our robust inventory of machine parts, Malahide's goal is to keep every part for every machine in-stock, and ready for service.
Quality parts, meet quality construction. Machines come to life in our assembly area. Methodically constructed with care, mechanisms are assembled, tested, and re-tested to ensure performance. Our niche-market focus often requires that a new machine be tailored to the client's specific purpose. Minor modifications are common, and it's not unusual for us to tweak our base designs to better serve a client's application. Refined over decades, Malahide's manufacturing system allows us to build equipment with the advantages of mass production, but do so in small volumes so that we don't sacrifice individualized craftsmanship.
Quality people to back you up. Behind the technology, Malahide invests as much in our people as we have in the technology they use. Skilled, capable and dependable, our carefully selected workforce watches every step of the production process to guarantee quality from the inside out. Involved in your machine from concept to finished product, our employees take pride in the equipment they produce, and the reputation of the brand they've helped to create.
