"Being able to have a brake that’s programmable … has cut down our setup time. You just pop in your program and you go. That’s fantastic. That’s what we’ve learned from our … operators using it. It’s turned out really well. I would recommend [a Piranha press brake]."

"It saves time and money, mostly from the elimination of processes [...] I can do stuff with my laser that a lot of people can’t do."

Mike Copeland

"Piranha gave us the easiest, quickest programming ability, with the most variable options […] That is what really led me down the road to work with them full-time. Their price was good. The service that they offered for training I thought was outstanding compared to the other options."

Bill Johns

"Probably the one thing that’s been as satisfying to us as anything is the tolerances we’ve been able to hold. It has saved us a tremendous amount of time."

Meet the Piranha Team

Fabrication experts focused on productive, durable shop equipment.

Piranha began in 1974 when Harry Oswald and Bob Brown developed an ironworker to streamline production at the foundry where they worked. Their practical solution became a machine that other fabricators wanted—and original Piranha ironworkers are still running today. From that foundation, Piranha expanded into a broad range of metal fabrication and thermal cutting equipment. The integration of the W.A. Whitney and Bertsch brands deepened a combined heritage of more than 145 years. Today, the team supports fabrication shops across North America with equipment designed for durable performance, clean and repeatable results, and scalable production. From its Illinois manufacturing and support operations, Piranha remains focused on helping customers build efficient, capable fabrication workflows.
