Meet the Piranha Team

Fabrication expertise focused on your production challenges.

Piranha began in 1974 when Harry Oswald and Bob Brown developed an ironworker to solve a real production challenge at the foundry where they worked. That practical, shop-floor mindset continues to guide the company today. Over time, Piranha expanded from its original ironworker into a broad range of metal fabrication and thermal cutting equipment, while integrating the W.A. Whitney and Bertsch brands. Together, these brands represent more than 145 years of manufacturing heritage. Our team helps fabricators consider the entire workflow—not just a single machine—so equipment decisions can support productivity, repeatability, and future growth. From initial configuration through parts and technical support, Piranha is committed to straightforward guidance and durable solutions for industrial operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of press machines?

Common press machine types include hydraulic presses, mechanical presses, pneumatic presses, servo presses, and press brakes. Hydraulic presses use fluid pressure to deliver controlled force and are often selected for forming, straightening, drawing, molding, and other applications requiring adjustable pressure or stroke control. Mechanical presses use a flywheel and crank mechanism for high-speed repetitive stamping. The right type depends on tonnage, material, tooling, cycle time, part geometry, and automation needs.
