New Weldon Solutions Brand Focuses Company For The Future

Weldon Machine Tool, Inc. of York, PA announces the rebranding of their company. They will now do business as Weldon Solutions. The company will manufacture and service the Weldon line of CNC grinders, design and integrate robotic automation solutions to satisfy a variety of applications, and install and service Emtrol storage and retrieval systems. In this new business focus Weldon Solutions will offer their customers cutting edge technologies that increase performance, enhance efficiency and generate cost-effective processes in manufacturing and industrial environments.

Since 1971, Weldon Machine Tool has served the industrial manufacturing market by providing high performance precision CNC cylindrical grinding machines and other custom machine tools. Weldon's experience and success with both conventional and robotic automation for the machine tool industry laid the groundwork for this new focus.

Through the 2003 acquisition of assets of Emtrol, Inc., a Lancaster, PA-based engineering and integration company, the management of Weldon Solutions has created a powerful technical force capable of integrating automated solutions using robotics, and providing Toshiba variable speed drives for a wide array of industrial applications. Ongoing technical support and service for existing Emtrol systems will also remain an important objective of the company.

Weldon Solutions will operate from the existing Weldon Machine Tool facility at 1800 West King Street in York.
