History

With a track record that reaches to 1983, and an approach that favors innovation and efficiency, Purakal has supported its customers’ success across the decades. The company was founded in Eugene, Oregon. At that time, the design and build of national and international projects were limited by the absence of custom hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder options. Project designers would simply work with what was easily available. But when Purakal appeared, the paradigm shifted. Suddenly, projects could be designed strictly for performance and efficiency – and project managers knew that Purakal could deliver the necessary cylinders.

In just a few years, Purakal was flourishing. Timber manufacturing and by-products companies were first on board, and within a few years, the company could point to a long list of customers in virtually every industry that requires heavy lifting, pushing or pulling, including aerospace, manufacturing, hydroelectric, transportation, agriculture, gas and oil.

Purakal Cylinders remains in Eugene, though its facility is much larger than founder Tom Philip ever imagined it might become. Today’s complex boasts a modern facility that includes a full range of manufacturing equipment, a testing and quality control area, and a dedicated space for cylinder assembly and repair. The sales, service, engineering and management teams are located on the same campus, allowing for easy collaboration across departments.
