Our story began back in 1965 with the opening of QMA, Quality Machine & Associates. The new business, wholly owned and operated by Don Henthorn, quickly gained a reputation as the premier manufacturer specialized in precision machine work and servicing customers like Rocketdyne, Rockwell and Hughes Aircraft. In 1979, QMA began development on its newest project—a hydraulic tubing bender designed for muffler shops. They settled on the brand name BendPak, and a legend was born. Who would have guessed where our devotion to the customer would lead us? Today, BendPak is the world's leading producer of lifting systems, pipe-benders and air compressors with a global commitment to never settle. Anyplace we’re sold on earth, the BendPak brand is recognized as the badge of quality. That’s because for the past 45 years, we’ve been pioneering service equipment technology, marketing, and training programs, as well as operational and supply systems that are now considered the standard for the entire industry.
