In about 1937, the business operating as Edwin E. Bartlett reorganized as the Greenerd Arbor Press Co., a name that seems to have been used intermittently for a few years before that. In 1962 the Calculograph Company acquired Greenerd Arbor Press Co. and renamed it to the Greenerd Press & Machine Co., Inc. Under these various names the business manufactured, and continues to manufacture, various kinds of mechanical and hydraulic presses.
