WorldWide Drilling Resource

6 SEPTEMBER 2017 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Innovation Brings Out the Best Adapted from Information by Numa Numa was purchased in 1985, by Ingersoll Rand executive and industry veteran, Rollie Leonard. Under his guidance, the company worked diligently to establish a reputation as a leading designer and manufacturer of DTH (down-the-hole) hammers and bits. This dedication saw the company grow from a small supplier of DTH bits to a major player in the drilling industry. In 2000, Ralph Leonard was named president and took over running day-to-day op- erations of the company, and tremendous growth has occurred under Ralph's leadership. This included an expansion of Numa's manufacturing facilities, product lines, and global presence. Numa is now recognized as one of the world’s leading drilling technology companies with products serving 11 different industries. The company has regional offices in six global locations with a dealer network servicing customers in more than 105 countries. Numa continues to build a customer-centric reputation by providing the highest value in products, performance, and personal service available in the rock drilling industry. A strategic focus of Numa is to partner with customers to design the right solutions for demanding drilling applications. This required the company to invest in the research and development of new products, as well as the expertise to support drill operators. The company works with drilling professionals on jobsites around the world to support its products and gain firsthand insight for advancing DTH product design. A key ingredient to the company's growth is directly linked to the people who make up the Numa family. Numa has been fortunate to assemble an experienced team focused on providing drill operators with an unparalleled level of personal service and quality products. Many of their talented staff have been with the company over 20, 25, and 30 years providing customers with a wealth of experience. Numa DTH products are designed for many different types of drilling applications, such as construction, oil and gas, mining, quarry, geothermal, water well, horizontal, and other rock drilling industries. In fact, Numa products drilled one of the deepest holes on record at 17,600 feet below the surface! As a pioneer in the development of new drilling technologies, including large- diameter drilling tools, reverse circulation products, and overburden/under-reaming products, the company’s innovative approach has paved the way for new and more efficient ways to drill through rock. A great example is the Super Jaws overburden bits featuring a special wing design made for simultaneously drilling and casing in unconsolidated formation of boulders and loose strata. This product has been uni- versally hailed as the best method for installing casing in the world. The company holds 13 patents for DTH drilling equipment, with more pending. Investing in research and development to continue moving the DTH industry forward, has been a top priority. All products are designed and manufactured in Numa's 55,000-square-foot facility sitting on 30 acres in Thompson, Connecticut. Over the past 30 years, Numa has become a leader in the drilling industry by designing innovative products, diversifying across multiple industry segments, and focusing on servicing global markets. Numa now offers one of the largest ranges of DTH rock drilling hammers and bits available in the industry today. The company boasts over 110 DTH products for drilling holes 3½ to 48 inches in all types of conditions, applications, and industries. The future looks great. In fact, earlier this year, the company announced the addition of a Doosan Puma 3100 composite turning center which combines the functions of both a lathe and a machining center to improve manufacturing capabilities at the Thompson plant; and also four new distributors covering Australia, Central America, Ireland, and the UK.
