How It Started
In 1959, Achilles "Red" Ferrara saw a need in the American manufacturing sector for finishing equipment that didn't just meet the baseline requirements, but actively pushed the boundaries of durability and precision. Operating out of Illinois, he founded Ultramatic Equipment Company with a straightforward vision: build vibratory finishing machines that outwork and outlast everything else on the floor.
Over the last 65 years, the manufacturing landscape has changed dramatically. We have watched countless competitors compromise on quality, offshore their production, or disappear entirely during economic downturns. Through it all, Ultramatic has remained steadfast. We kept our manufacturing in the United States, we kept our family ownership, and we kept our promise to build industrial deburring equipment that stands the test of time.
Today, when you invest in an Ultramatic vibratory tub or bowl, you aren't just buying a piece of machinery. You are partnering with a family that has dedicated three generations to perfecting the science of mass finishing. We know these machines inside and out because we built them, and we stand behind every single one.
