Torchmate is proud to be an active member of the off-road community. We have partnered with Shaffers Offroad to build our Torchmate Rock Crawler and participate in many exciting off-road races, including W.E. Rock U.S. Nationals in Hannibal, Missouri and the Henderson Fabtech Desert Classic Best in the Desert Race final of the year.
We are a family owned business that grew from a small backyard shop to a CNC Cutting Systems Distribution Center. We are very proud of our achievements over the years. We love to hear stories about how we helped a small shop owner grow into a success in the industry. We have found that the off-road community is one that we have directly influenced as many off-road vehicles are built from scratch using our machines. It seemed only natural that we invest more of our time in this industry. Two generations of our family have had a deep passion for racing. Our founder, Bill Sr., has spent his life as an enthusiastic supporter of drag racing and hotrods. CEO, Bill Jr., found that rock crawling and desert racing appeals to his adventurous side. We are committed to our business and to the passions and relationships we have built through Torchmate.
We have received a warm reception from the off-road community, and look forward to growing with you to become more skilled and proficient contributors to the sport.
