The history of Numberall began when Max Bayerdorffer founded the company in 1930 in Staten Island, NY. As a craftsman of bird bands, he wanted to brand his products. Along with his partner Tim Powers, Max’s creativity and craftsmanship lead to the development of the first Numberall product – a Single Wheel Rotary Stamp. As the years progressed, additional marking tools were added to the product line, including custom-built machines – some even ordered by a few of the company’s competitors.
In 1963, after the passing of his father Max, Herman Bayerdorffer took over Numberall’s leadership. In 1968, another division was opened in Sangerville, ME. In 1983, the corporate headquarters was moved from Staten Island to Sangerville, where all production takes place today. In 1996, Herman’s son, Daniel Bayerdorffer, took over the leadership at Numberall, continuing the company’s mission to create the best metal marking equipment worldwide.
Numberall’s products are used in a variety of industries on every single continent. Products that you use every day may have been stamped by Numberall equipment.
