What started in a single office space and a staff of two has turned into a leading provider of power take-offs and hydraulic components with a staff of more than 400. Over the years, Muncie Power has had numerous product expansions and innovations. The goal will always be to trust by supporting industry professionals who value an easy and efficient way to supply, build, operate, and maintain quality work trucks.

 
 
  • The Beginning
  • Muncie Power Products was founded by Lou Conne in 1935 under the name Muncie Parts Manufacturing Company. Of course, at the time, the company did manufacture anything. Conne started an automotive parts business due to new vehicle sales being stagnant in the 1930s. Eventually, the company began to get into power take-offs (PTOs) and mechanical winches. During this time, Conne hired Hamer Shafer, the first and only employee. Shafer would later play a very important role in how Muncie Power Products became the company it is today.
 
  • Growth and Changes
  • In 1966, Shafer officially became the president of Muncie Parts Manufacturing Company. Later, in 1979, he renamed the company to Muncie Power Products, Inc. and introduces our iconic PowerBurst logo that you know today.
 
  • Becoming a Manufacturer
  • Shafer saw the potential of the PTO market and invested more in it. In 1982, Muncie Power began to sell manufactured PTOs in a joint partnership with Sperry-Vickers in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1986, Muncie Power purchased Sperry-Vickers, to become a manufacturer of PTOs in their own right.
 
  • Joining Interpump Group
  • In 1999, Muncie Power joined the Interpump Group. Interpump Group is a multinational leader in water jetting and hydraulics components based in Italy. There are more than 100 companies in the Interpump Group umbrella. Learn more about Interpump Group
 
  • Partnership with Interpump Hydraulics
  • Interpump Hydraulics is the combination of multiple well-known manufacturers with decades of experience in the work truck industry working together. Through this partnership, Muncie Power is able to expand its PTO and hydraulics offerings with the addition of products such as rear- and engine-mount PTOs, piston pumps, and tipper valves to North America while maintaining the high level of quality you trust.
 
  • Introduction of Snow & Ice Product Line
  • Muncie Power continues to invest in ways to provide better solutions for our customers. One example of that is our Technology Solutions Group who designs our innovative Snow & Ice Control Solutions. This group was formed in 2014 and have created numerous products, such as the Muncie Start®, SPD-2000, the Omni-System line of snow and ice control solutions, and more.
 
  • Partnership with Interpump Fluid Solutions
  • Muncie Power is the only provider of Interpump Fluid Solutions in North America. Located in Europe, Interpump Fluid Solutions has more than 30 years of manufacturing experience and is made up of multiple manufacturers who form one of the leading providers of hose, fittings, machines, and accessories across the world. Through this partnership, Muncie Power can offer a complete line of high-quality fluid conveyance products to North America.
 
  • Expanding to the Yorktown Facility
  • In Indiana, we moved our assembly, distribution, fluid conveyance production line, and more to a facility in Yorktown. This facility has enhanced our ability to serve our customers better by increasing our capacity.
 
  • Building the Mohawk Facility
  • In Tulsa, Oklahoma, we broke ground in 2020 to build a new state-of-the-art facility to expand our manufacturing, assembly, and distribution capabilities. This new facility helps us provide quality products for our customers.
