In the late 1800s, Milwaukee entrepreneur Robert Nunnemacher licensed a malting drum patent, sparking the Galland Henning Manufacturing Company. When Milwaukee’s brewing industry was shut down due to Prohibition, the company explored other ventures, finding success with scrap metal baling. Soon after, the Nopak fluid power manufacturing division was formed. More than a century after its inception, this family-owned company continues its tradition of excellence in manufacturing innovation and customer service. Pioneering spirit and perseverance help what is now Nopak, LLC to create the solutions of tomorrow.

Our pneumatic and hydraulic components can be found in industrial and manufacturing environments with the most demanding needs.
