Franklin-based Hypneumat Inc. has been purchased by John Weber, a Milwaukee-area business executive.
Hypneumat is a manufacturer of industrial automation products under the Hypneumat, Commander and Snow brand names.
The company will continue to operate at its Franklin facilities with its existing management and labor team.
“I am extremely pleased to be able to become a part of the long standing tradition of this company. Hypneumat has expanded its offering over the years with the additions of Commander and Snow lines to become a recognized leader in industrial automation and with my ownership we plan to continue that tradition,” said Weber. “We will continue to do what Hypneumat Inc. does best, providing automation products and solutions for our clients.”
Investments in additional equipment and personnel are being planned to add contract machining services to the offerings of Hypneumat, Weber said.
