OMAX Corporation

OMAX's founders, Dr. John Cheung and Dr. John Olsen, developed and combined new motion control technology and proprietary software to engineer an abrasive waterjet that meets the needs of manufacturers. OMAX developed a patented easy-to-use "Compute First-Move Later"​ conversational programming system built into the controls of our waterjets. OMAX is the only fully integrated waterjet company that designs and produces its own pump, high-pressure plumbing, machine controller, software and tables. Our substantial investment in engineering and R&D enables us to continue product development. OMAX machines are sold through a well-established and growing network of distributors. In addition, our Service Technicians are available for expert installation, training, maintenance and repair assistance. As one of the world's top abrasive waterjet manufacturers, OMAX Corp. has joined forces with Hypertherm, a global 100% employee-owned industrial cutting solutions leader frequently awarded as a Best Place to Work company and celebrated for its culture of ownership and shared rewards. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypertherm, OMAX provides cutting-edge integrated abrasive waterjet solutions and world-class aftermarket service with the added resources of a global company with the stability of an over 50-year history with no layoffs.
