Ruplinger Corporation was started in 1987 by Peter Ruplinger. The company was originally named "Ruplinger Custom Machinery" and specialized in computer controlled equipment for manufacturing and process control. Early customers included Becton Dickinson, Abbot Critical Care, Easton Aluminum and Kennecott Copper Corporation. In 1989, Nordson asked the Ruplinger Corporation to represent their prestigious line of adhesive application equipment in Utah and Idaho. Subsequently they expanded the territory to include Montana. In 1994, Nordson added their line of powder coating equipment to the Ruplinger Corporation's line of responsibilities. As the company grew several notable lines were added to complement equipment used for packaging, powder coating, book binding, and the manufacture of nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals. Another major line, Patterson-Kelley, was added in 1996. In 1998 Patterson-Kelley expanded Ruplinger Corporation's responsibilities to include Colorado and New Mexico.   Peter Ruplinger attributes his success to always putting the customer's welfare above his own. Historically, repeat business has been in excess of eighty percent. The company's goal is 100% customer satisfaction. The prime service which Peter endeavors to provide is professionalism. This Peter defines as "no surprises". A truly professional company provides what is wanted, when it is wanted, at the cost that is expected, and the product does exactly what it is expected to do. There is no room for surprise in a professional organization.
