Meet the Piranha Team

Fabrication equipment expertise built through generations of manufacturing experience.

Piranha was founded in 1974 after Harry Oswald and Bob Brown developed an ironworker to solve a real foundry production challenge. That practical beginning continues to shape how Piranha approaches metal fabrication equipment today. From its Illinois roots in Belvidere and Rockford, the company has expanded from its original ironworker into a broad line of thermal cutting, forming, punching, and fabrication solutions. The integration of W.A. Whitney and Bertsch extends Piranha’s combined brand heritage to more than 145 years. Piranha serves fabrication shops and OEM manufacturers throughout North America, pairing equipment options with knowledgeable cutting advice, U.S.-based support, and parts resources designed to keep production moving.
