Clippard, Jr. founded Clippard Instrument Laboratory in 1941. The initial product line consisted of electrical test equipment, magnetic windings and radio frequency coils. The first miniature fluid power devices designed and built by Clippard were for use in the manufacturer of his own equipment. In the early 1950’s, Mr. Clippard introduced Minimatic components as a new product line. His first springreturn, rolled-construction air cylinder had a 3/8” bore and a 1/2” stroke. He also created the now standard #10-32 threaded ports, and introduced this new size cylinder and valve port to the market. As #10-32 fittings gained acceptance, they also became the standard to miniature valves. More component types and sizes were added as new markets developed around these popular products. The need for miniature pneumatics was so widespread that the Minimatic line rapidly became Clippard’s primary product line, and remains so today. Today, the company is managed by William L. Clippard, III, President and Robert L. Clippard, Vice President, and has grown to include over 5,000 standard products. The company’s headquarters are located in Cincinnati, Ohio with manufacturing facilities in Fairfield, Ohio as well, and a sales office in Br
