A Legacy of Innovatino and Service Since 1902
Hermance Machine Company has been a cornerstone of the American woodworking industry for over 120 years. Founded in 1902 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Hermance began as a small tool and machinery distributor serving the bustling lumber and manufacturing industries of the early 20th century. Over the decades, the company evolved into one of the most respected names in industrial machinery, becoming synonymous with quality, expertise, and dependable service.
Built on Craftsmanship and Customer Commitment
From its earliest days, Hermance Machine Company has stood for more than just machines — it has stood for the craftspeople and manufacturers who build with them. The founders recognized the growing needs of American manufacturers and made it their mission to supply not just equipment, but tailored solutions that increase productivity, improve safety, and drive innovation on the shop floor.
Through the Great Depression, two world wars, and dramatic technological changes, Hermance has adapted and thrived by putting customers first. Today, that same commitment continues to drive everything they do — from personalized machine recommendations to factory-trained service and nationwide parts support.
While still headquartered in Williamsport, PA, Hermance Machine Company now serves customers across North America. They proudly support industries ranging from woodworking and plastics to composites and metals, supplying advanced CNC machinery, edgebanders, panel saws, dust collection systems, and more from top global brands.
Hermance serves a wide range of customers — from small woodworking shops to large-scale manufacturers — all with the same level of care, expertise, and responsiveness that has defined their reputation for over a century.
Hermance Machine Company proudly services a broad region of the northeastern and midwestern United States, offering personalized sales support, expert machine installation, and responsive field service across key industrial hubs. Their dedicated team supports customers throughout:
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Ohio, and Michigan.
With strong coverage in these states, Hermance ensures that shops of all sizes — from local cabinetmakers to major manufacturers — receive timely, knowledgeable assistance. Whether it’s a new CNC installation in Ohio or emergency repair service in Maryland, Hermance delivers the same level of professionalism and reliability that customers have trusted for over a century.
