Since Hardinge Inc.'s acquisition in 2013, Forkardt and Hardinge Workholding have been operating under the same ownership. For the past decade, both workholding companies have continued to go to market as standalone brands. Now in 2024, Forkardt and Hardinge Workholding will join as a single brand.
"Starting immediately in North America and Asia, the brand Forkardt Hardinge will be launched to help customers tie together over 230 years of combined workholding history," said Ryan Ervin, President of Forkardt Hardinge. "Forkardt Hardinge has one of the most complete workholding product offerings in the industry. However, the brands were underleveraged while trying to maintain separate identities. This new brand will help existing and new customers understand everything Forkardt Hardinge has to offer."
With over 200,000 SKUs, Forkardt Hardinge serves practically every industry and offers standard and custom engineered products. Forkardt Hardinge offers workholding solutions in product categories including lathe collets, Swiss collets and guide bushings, power chucks, manual workholding solutions, rotary tables, fixtures, quick change systems, custom engineered solutions, workholding accessories and more.
"We are excited to tell the world what Forkardt Hardinge has to offer," said Brent Sharkey, Forkardt Hardinge's Marketing Manager. "A new website, social media platforms and marketing materials are actively being launched across America and Asia, with Europe following shortly after. We have a wealth of solutions highlighting quality, competitive American made workholding technology that is sure to resonate well with customers here in America. Forkardt Hardinge employs over 315 individuals globally with more than two thirds of them located in America."
