Hammond Machine Works

Welcome to Our Story.

Our rich history of quality. Your machining asset.

history-timeline-triangle

Established in 1908

Hammond Machine Works was founded upon a commitment to quality. We plan to continue our rich heritage well into the future with facilities that deliver precision parts, time and time again, with the most advanced equipment available.

Gastavos A. Kuehl opens the company doors as Hammond Machine and Forge Works, a machining and forging plant, in a 12,000-square foot building on Wilcox Street in Hammond, Indiana.

It was the heyday of the railroads, burgeoning steel mills and other emerging industries populating Northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland area.

Expansion leads to a new building

Capabilities and machining volume continue to grow

By the 1950s, Hammond Machine Works upgraded to a newer facility

1930s: Kuehl sells the business to his son, Henry.

Machining processes started to become more automated

In the 1960s, Nau grows both the company's capabilities and its involvement in the community on one core principle: We’re not a parts company—we’re a relationships company. This philosophy became the foundation for the company's future success.

Business investment and expansion led the way to multi-generational involvement from the Nau family.

1990: Hammond partners with Mazak Technology Centers and MSI after the purchase of their first CNC machine.

1992: Peter purchases Hammond Machine Works from his father, becoming the President/CEO.

Hammond continues the path of automation adding state-of-the-art equipment and expanding the facility to its current 42,000 square feet.

Robotic welding becomes integral part of capability offerings

2008: Celebrating 100 years and a third generation joining the business

2015: Hammond opens new 25,000 sq. ft. facility located in Addison, Texas

A Modern Shop. A tradition of quality since 1908.
