About Us

Delivering Excellence Through Innovation & Service

HYTORC is a family business focused on providing value to our customers.

Before HYTORC's inception, industrial bolting was perceived as essential, but time consuming, unsafe, and difficult. At that time, tooling vendors also fell short in both service and quality. Our founder, John Junkers, set out to change all of that.

Since launching in 1968, our mission statement has remained the same: “to optimize industrial bolting through innovative solutions and an unyielding commitment to customer satisfaction.” We strive to make our customers' jobs as safe and hassle-free as possible.
