W.A. Whitney was founded in 1907 by a man named William Andrew Whitney, who designed and patented several of the original punching presses and tools that the company first sold. Throughout the year the company changed through several different owners, however the production of machine tools only increased. By 1918 the company had created hand punches, ball bearings, universal joints and more. In the 1950s, hydraulics was introduced to punching tools, which opened the product line to new opportunities including duplicators, gang punches, large panel presses, shears and more. By the mid-1960s, numerical control was also introduced to sheet metal punching machines and the company also began to expand worldwide into countries including England, Mexico and Italy.
Plasma cutting was introduced in the 1980s, and this became the main focus of the company. Throughout the following decades, Whitney has been committed to providing customers with better ways to cut and punch metal with more speed, precision, and accuracy. Primary customers are heavy equipment manufacturers of agricultural and construction equipment, however Whitney services all industries. Whitney equipment is optimal for anyone who utilizes thermal cutting, punching and punch/plasma systems for manufacturing.
