Hoffmann Machine Company

Company Profile
Hoffmann Building

     Hoffmann Machine Company, Inc. was founded in 1990 as the North American subsidiary of Hoffmann GmbH Maschinenbau of Bruchsal, Germany. From its location in western North Carolina, the company services customers and distributors throughout the United States, Canada and South America. Aside from office space, the Valdese location also includes a spacious warehouse where all standard Hoffmann machines are kept in stock. An extensive supply of spare parts, accessories and Hoffmann Dovetail Fasteners are stocked as well. A new showroom will be opened soon to demonstrate the full range of equipment to customers and distributors.

The Hoffmann Dovetail Joining System is widely used in the woodworking industry to quickly and efficiently assemble mitered cabinet doors, compound-mitered crown moulding, furniture bases, moulding frames, etc. Manufacturers of plantation shutters, store fixtures and RTA furniture use the system extensively as well as custom woodworking shop owners, cabinetmakers and boat builders.

A wide variety of dedicated routing machines, from manual bench-top to fully automatic production models, are available. In addition, heavy-duty production double miter saws with built-in dovetail routing stations are offered in stock or customized versions to best suit the customer's needs.

The unique fasteners, called Hoffmann Dovetail Keys, range in length from 1/4" to 4", made of either plastic or solid wood. Different colors, shapes and sizes can be produced for specific applications.

Users can save up to 70% in production time due to the elimination of the clamping process to achieve a perfectly aligned and tight joint.

Hoffmann Machine Company, Inc. also offers the Swiss Made BH-556 Lipping Planer. This hand-held power planer is specifically designed for flush planing of wooden edges on veneered or laminate covered panels.

The newest addition is an assembly system for beaded face frames, muntin cross joints and french-mitered cabinet doors. Hoffmann Machine Company is the master distributor for the MORSO NF and NEH type notching machines manufactured by Dan-List in Denmark. Manual and fully automatic MORSO models are offered either alone or in combination with Hoffmann Dovetail Routing Machines as complete machine packages.
