Clamp by Hypertherm

Hypertherm’s story starts more than fifty years ago in a two-car garage, where founders Dick Couch and Bob Dean cracked a breakthrough: a tighter plasma arc that cut metal faster and with cleaner edges. That practical, problem-solving mindset has shaped the brand ever since.

What drives Hypertherm today is the same thing that got them started—customer-led innovation. Every tool and software release is built around real-world needs: better cut quality, higher throughput, and lower running costs. It’s a focus you can feel on the shop floor, from first setup to the last part of the shift.
