Company History and Structure

Based in St. Charles, near St. Louis, Missouri, the company was founded in 1973 by Carmelo J. Natoli (1932-2012), with ideas based on his previous experience as a machinist.

Natoli’s aims in business were to provide his customers with only the highest quality tablet compression tools at fair prices and with attentive service. His company has remained true to that core mission ever since, progressively expanding into the manufacture of entire tablet presses, operating systems and software and encapsulation parts, along with value added technical and consultancy services.

Today, Natoli Engineering occupies modern buildings, strategically  located in one of the Midwest’s finest progressive industrial parks, on an 11,500 square meter campus that includes administrative, manufacturing, refurbishing, training, and cleaning centers, along with facilities designated for product demonstration and testing. Natoli Engineering also has regional technical centers around the world to serve international customers.
