Jinnings, the son of HMC Titan's founder, grew the business substantially, taking the it from an equipment rental business to become a leading manufacturing and distribution company.

Jinnings embarked on a mission to revolutionise the pile driving industry by establishing HMC and, later, Titan Metal Worx. He infused the company with his visionary ideas, commitment to quality, and relentless drive for innovation.

Over the years, the HMC brand became synonymous with excellence and trust in the field of vibratory and impact pile driving solutions. The business proposition was further strengthened by a distribution partnership with Movax, of which HMC Titan distributes its products on an exclusive basis throughout North and Central America.

Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Jinnings said: "It's been an incredible 50-year journey, full of challenges, hard work, and unyielding determination. HMC Titan has always been close to my heart, and I'm immensely proud of the company's growth and the impact it has had on the industry.

"This milestone is not just a celebration of the past but a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team, who have continued the legacy of innovation and excellence."

HMC Titan was acquired by Entegra Attachments in 2021, a move that allowed for additional investment and expansion for sustained growth while maintaining the core values that John Jinnings instilled from the beginning.

Entegra's CEO, Mike Flannery, praised Jinnings' enduring influence on HMC Titan. "John's vision and commitment to innovation and quality have been pivotal in making HMC Titan a leader in the pile driving and drilling industry. We are honoured to continue his legacy and build upon the foundation he established and as a continued investor in the business, we will benefit greatly from his ongoing creativity and guidance."
