Forkardt Hardinge Brand officially launched in North America and Asia

Elmira, New York, 6/10/2024 – 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, known for a broad range of highly reliable, quality workholding solutions. Now in 2024, Forkardt and Hardinge Workholding will join as a single brand ushering in the future of Workholding solutions.  “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”, says Ryan Ervin, President of Forkardt Hardinge.  “Forkardt Hardinge has one of the most complete Workholding product offerings in the industry.  However, the brands were under leveraged while trying to maintain separate identities.  This new brand will help existing and new customers understand everything Forkardt Hardinge has to offer”, Ervin continues.  With over 200,000 SKUs, Forkardt Hardinge serves practically every industry and has something every manufacturer can utilize from both its standard and custom engineered products.  Forkardt Hardinge has been known for providing world class Workholding solutions in product categories including Lathe Collets, Swiss Collets & Guide Bushings, Power Chucks, Manual Workholding Solutions, Rotary Tables, Fixtures, Quick Change Systems, Custom Engineered Solutions, Workholding Accessories and more.

This name change will strengthen what has made these iconic brands what they are today.  Both Forkardt and Hardinge Workholding have been relied on for precision, quality, and innovation. For the past century, Forkardt and Hardinge Workholding consistently delivered superior solutions that can be found in nearly every industry and manufacturing sector.  Now in 2024, those solutions will be delivered under one name.  The core of Forkardt Hardinge lies in its team of experienced sales and design engineers who can help specify the right Workholding solution for a customer’s need. Their dedication to innovation and a customer-first mentality ensures that you’ll always have access to the latest Workholding technology.
