Hypertherm

Worlds Leading Plasma Cutting System

Our story
Our story is one of innovation, hard work, and customer focus begun more than fifty years ago, in a small two car garage, with an invention that shaped the future of plasma cutting. Our founder Dick Couch and colleague Bob Dean discovered a way to create a narrower plasma arc, capable of cutting metal more quickly and more accurately than ever before.

Customer focused innovation
Today, that founding principle of customer-focused innovation continues to drive the development of all Hypertherm products and is one of the reasons why Hypertherm plasma products consistently outperform the competition in cut quality, productivity, and cost-efficiency. The same ideals that fueled the inception of Hypertherm plasma all those years ago are still what drive us today: A passion for challenging what’s achievable with the products we create, the culture we foster, and the experience we deliver to our customers.
