Innovation. Technology. Design. These are the words that define RUPES.

RUPES is a family owned and operated company, founded in Milan, Italy in 1947. Since its inception, RUPES’ commitment to product innovation and quality manufacturing has defined the company as a worldwide benchmark manufacturer of professional electric and pneumatic tools, accessory items and vacuum systems.

Designing the future for over 70 years.

Our commitment to research and development has been the driving factor in the success of the company. The focus on designing and manufacturing products that are in total compliance with health and safety regulations, offer enhanced worker comfort, and provide innovative solutions is at the core of each new product initiative. Our history is composed of achievements, challenges, ideas, and international successes.

Facility & Vision for the Future.

In January of 2015 RUPES SpA acquired Colorado based tool manufacturer Cyclo Toolmakers, Inc. subsequently forming the company we know today as RUPES USA. The North American division of the Italian based manufacturer has gone on to become an additional manufacturing site for the company as well as providing US based support, training, and sales. Furthering that commitment to the US market, in November of 2017 the new state-of-the-art manufacturing, training and support facility for RUPES USA was completed.

The RUPES USA Mission Statement:  “Helping our world shine… one surface at a time.”

INNOVATING: We will develop and introduce new durable and consumable products that create the systems to solve our customers’ finishing problems. EDUCATING: We will provide both physical and virtual opportunities for our customers to find a better solution to their finishing issues. We will constantly raise the level of our team’s technical ability so that we are fully equipped to better serve our customers. MAKING PASSION A LIFESTYLE: We will strive daily to present a passionate and caring attitude in all we do. ACTING WITH INTEGRITY & HONESTY: We will be transparent and forthright in all we do. We will fully commit to offering our customers the best possible solution, even if that solution does not involve RUPES products. CREATING A CULTURE OF TEAMWORK: We will work together as a cross-disciplinary unit to exceed the expectations of our customers.

1947

RUPES SpA is founded in Italy.

1951

In 1951 the RUPES 123 Stork is launched and instantly becomes an international hit that sparked the continued evolution of existing machine tools.

1955

The Wonder W2 multi-speed double-sided rotary polisher is introduced.

1962

RUPES introduces the new TP/PC drill, the first tool in the world with a body made of technical polymer instead of traditional cast metals. The new plastic material reduced the weight of the tool and improved electrical insulation, and improved worker safety. Later plastic housing tools would become an international standard.

1968

RUPES revolutionized the world of sanding by launching the first electric random orbital sander, the BR 8. Dust removal systems were also integrated into all RUPES sanders to improve operator safety.

The LE 7 is released and introduces the world to the first electric orbital palm sander. It’s the first machine of its kind designed for single handed operation.

1985

1985 marked the introduction of new vacuum systems, both centralized and mobile. These systems were aimed at the removal of dust generated in smoothing processes, and developed the RUPES “Energy Car”, the first mobile trolleys equipped with vacuum, designed to be easily moved around the workplace.

2015
