Joseph Perry is the founder of the Hammerhead Industrial. Joseph has had extensive experience in owning and operating small businesses starting with a string of property maintenance, pest control, and construction companies. After a time working for other companies in the die-cutting press and manufacturing industries, Joseph saw a large need for bringing higher-quality die-cutting systems to market with the middle-market price in mind. Careful sourcing of components and boots on the ground in the USA, providing high quality service, were the keys to this plan. With goals to bring manufacturing fully back to the USA by 2025, he wishes to be a leader in bringing newer, smarter technology to the industry and showing other manufacturing companies it is possible to compete with foreign manufacturers if we work smarter.
