E. W. Bliss Company

The products included design of a continuous casting machine for Phoenix Steel, worked on development of automated airport landing system and aircraft arresting gear for commercial and military airframes (a pendant and net systems).

The company maintained a test facility at the Woodbine, NJ airfield where they installed the largest steam launch catapult of its time.

The Intellectual Property assets were sold to Mueller Weingarten press company and the plant was sold to BCN Technical Services Inc., incorporated in 2006, which still operates in Hastings, Michigan, to service Bliss, Clearing, and Niagara brand presses.

The company produced a line of special presses adapted for sheet metal work, power stamping machines, automobile parts, torpedoes, shrapnel and armor-piercing projectiles.

Bliss machines were often huge and very heavy, powered by steam and were sold or used by the company itself to manufacture pressed metal products.
