About Us
Our History
Hypneumat, Inc. began in the 1940s, when founder Earl Putrow developed the original concept and design for what would become the Hypneumat automatic drilling and tapping unit. The Hypneumat name was cleverly coined from three existing words: hydraulic, pneumatic, and automatic. Officially incorporated in 1950, Hypneumat Inc. quickly earned a reputation for manufacturing reliable, high-performance drilling and tapping equipment designed to serve a wide range of industrial applications.
With its early beginnings in northern Wisconsin, Hypneumat later established its long-term home in Franklin, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, in the 1990s, where the company continues to operate today. As the business continued to grow, Hypneumat acquired the Commander and SNOW product lines in 2007 to better meet customer needs. Throughout its history, Hypneumat has remained a family-run business, maintaining a hands-on approach to both manufacturing and customer relationships.
