Our Story

Built on decades of CNC expertise

Better Vacuum Cups, Inc. was founded by Mike McClaran in January 2005. Mike has been in the CNC Woodworking industry for 26+ years — dating back to his father and grandfather being the first CR Onsrud dealer on the West Coast.

Prior to founding BVC, Mike was employed by Biesse Group America as a Senior Technician for 9+ years, with previous experience at HolzHer, Stiles, and REAlbright.

Today, BVC serves thousands of fabrication shops across North America — from small custom shops to large-scale production facilities, backed by industry-leading technical support.
