A FAMILY LEGACY OF INNOVATION

Whipple Superchargers is family owned and operated, guided by a deep commitment to integrity, craftsmanship, and performance excellence. What began with one racer building parts in Fresno has become the benchmark for twin screw supercharging worldwide.

From match racing to NHRA competition, decades on track shaped everything Whipple builds for the street today. Every lesson from the strip and the salt flats feeds back into the product.

AMERICAN BUILT. GLOBALLY RESPECTED.

Design, machining, assembly and calibration all happen in Fresno, California, where over 100 skilled professionals build every supercharger system Whipple ships. Keeping manufacturing in house is what makes OEM-level fit, finish and repeatability possible.

That control is why Whipple systems meet 50-state emissions requirements, install like factory equipment, and hold up under the conditions customers actually run them in — street, strip, salt and open water.

THE WHIPPLE FAMILY TRADITION CONTINUES

The next generation of the Whipple family works in the same building Art started in, on the same principles: build it better than it needs to be, support it for as long as the customer owns it, and never ship something you would not run yourself.

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SUPERCHARGING

“For nearly four decades, Whipple Superchargers has proven that with passion, precision, and perseverance, there are no limits—only new frontiers to conquer.”
