Many things happened for the first time in 1969, not the least of which was the beginning of the Metal Muncher line of fabrication equipment. Beginning with a small press, our founder and developer, Walter Lips, soon saw the need for multi-user operation, hence our twin cylinder design was born.
Metal Muncher, a division of Center Engineering Co., was produced by the Lips family for 30 years until its sale in 1999 to Clausing Industrial, a division of the 600 Group. Through Clausing’s extensive dealer network, the Metal Muncher line grew in brand recognition for its versatility, dependability and American made ingenuity. In 2011, Kalamazoo Metal Muncher Inc. was formed to purchase the
line of products from Clausing continuing the long standing tradition of quality.At Kalamazoo Metal Muncher, our commitment to machine building runs deep.
