Fabrication expertise built around real production challenges.
Piranha began in 1974 when Harry Oswald and Bob Brown developed an ironworker to streamline work at the foundry where they worked. What started as a practical answer to a production challenge grew into a comprehensive source of metal fabrication and thermal cutting equipment. Today, Piranha carries forward more than 145 years of combined heritage through the Piranha, W.A. Whitney, and Bertsch brands. The company supports fabrication shops, OEMs, and industrial manufacturers across North America with equipment, training, parts, and technical assistance. Piranha’s team is focused on helping customers build capable operations with durable machinery, practical application knowledge, and support that continues long after installation.
Sheet metal bending training can cover safe machine operation, control familiarity, material handling, routine maintenance practices, and application guidance. Piranha offers training options at the factory, during installation, and online with a live host. The appropriate scope should reflect the equipment in use, the experience level of the operators, and the production work the shop needs to perform consistently.
