| Steeped in a history of printing
excellence and machine shop innovation, R.W. HARTNETT
continues to reach new levels of distinction within
the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and candy industries.
Founded in 1880 in Philadelphia as a machine shop,
R.W. HARTNETT quickly developed a reputation for
forward thinking in manufacturing, service and repair
for industrial companies in the Philadelphia area.
Since then, our renowned commitment to our customers’
needs drives us to continually develop new
and imaginative solutions to consistently meet
the unique and special requests of our customers.
R.W. HARTNETT’s reputation for excellence
was noted by New York’s FORD GUM company
in 1945 when they requested the development of
a machine that would print on their line of gumballs.
The project was a ground-breaking success. Shortly
thereafter, R.W. HARTNETT was asked by Philadelphia-based
Smith-Kline to design and build the first printing
machine to print on a pharmaceutical product.
This undertaking, again, was successful, and it
was then that R.W. HARTNETT began to focus its
talent and energy on developing the
best machines in the world to impact both
the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and candy industries.
Operated by the same family since the early 1900s,
R.W. HARTNETT has played an integral part in the
development not only of printing
machines, but also of multi-various technologies
— from military parts to ice cream mixers,
drive shafts to bicycle frames. Both large pharmaceutical
companies and small entrepreneurial start-ups
continue to rely upon our pioneering approach
for their technological and mechanical solutions.
Located in Philadelphia, our new facility boasts
state-of-the-art equipment while maintaining a
family atmosphere, ensuring that satisfying the
needs of our customers will always remain at the
forefront of our focus.
