Our History

Weldon Solutions’ roots go back to the 1890’s when Frederick T. Flinchbaugh founded Flinchbaugh Manufacturing, Inc., which became a prominent manufacturer of gasoline tractors and traction engines. Over the years, company ownership was passed on through the Flinchbaugh family. The company evolved into Weldon Hydraulics, Inc. and became known for innovation in the field of hydraulic cylinders and other special machinery.

In the mid-1970’s Weldon entered into the CNC grinder business by designing, building, and marketing their own grinder. James D. Flinchbaugh took over as company president. The manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders was terminated in 1981 as grinders became a more significant part of the company’s business. Two years later, the company changed its name to Weldon Machine Tool, Inc. Weldon now focused exclusively on CNC grinders and gradually phased out the manufacturing of special engineered machinery.

In 1991, Tsugami Corporation, a major Japanese machine tool builder, IBC, a Japanese trading company, and REM Sales, a Connecticut-based importer for Tsugami and others, acquired Weldon Machine Tool. James Flinchbaugh remained as president. This acquisition provided Weldon with a significant input of capital and R&D funding.

In 1999, the assets of the company and the name Weldon Machine Tool were acquired by a group of employees. The new corporation was formed as an employee ESOP and continues to provide the same high quality, CNC grinders, latest grinding technologies, and unparalleled customer service and support that has made it a leading manufacturer of CNC grinders. Through the 2003 acquisition of some assets of the former Emtrol, Inc., a Lancaster, PA-based engineering and integration company, the management of Weldon Solutions created a powerful technical force capable of integrating automated solutions using industrial robotics. Ongoing technical support and service for existing Emtrol systems also remain an important objective of the company.

In 2004, Weldon Machine Tool, Inc. announced the rebranding of the company. Now doing business as Weldon Solutions the company manufactures and services the Weldon line of CNC grinders, designs and integrates robotic automation solutions to satisfy a variety of applications, and installs and services storage and retrieval and automation systems for bakeries. We provide our customers with cutting edge technologies that increase performance, enhance efficiency and generate cost-effective processes in manufacturing and industrial environments.

The dedication, skills, and commitment of our employees have always been the strength of Weldon Solutions. The employees that our customers have come to know and trust to meet their needs are now the dedicated committed owners of Weldon Solutions. These employees along with Weldon’s reputation for innovation and quality guarantee a solid and promising future for Weldon Solutions.
