Our Manufacture Weber Knapp
Companies sprout instantaneously in this software driven world, or so it seems. And too many fold just as quickly. This is not so with Weber Knapp. Nearly a Century old, their a true survivor where values like old world craftsmanship are given equal billing with lean manufacturing, CNC, and SPC. Over the course of decades Weber Knapp has ironed out every kink and polished every technique. They’ve perfected the latest machine and fabrication process, integrated engineering with research and development, and tied everything back to careful prototype testing and quality control programs. They have discovered new markets, new products, and new applications.
Weber Knapp was founded at the turn of the century as a manufacturer of hardware for the furniture industry. By the 1960’s, company engineers had devised a revolutionary counterbalanced hinge device that quickly found its way into a wide array of products from furniture to food processing equipment, to medical and office products. Other motion control solutions include applications such as centrifuges and door supports for refrigerated cabinets. Weber Knapp is also a major resource of designer hinges for the residential furniture industry.
Today Weber Knapp leads the ergonomics industry with state of the art spring assisted productgs, all manufactured domestically by 200 skilled craftsman in two plant locations with 330,000 Sq. Ft. of space. They are keeping a collective ear to the ground as computer hardware and office systems evolve so that Weber Knapp can continue to create products that adjust the workplace instead of adjusting to it.
Experience has taught them to listen. They got where they are today by focusing their high caliber engineering expertise toward working with customers to come up with unique solutions to their specific design challenges.

They design and build assemblies based upon achieving their customers function, quality and cost targets. Their vertically integrated manufacturing structure allows them to efficiently transition from prototype to full scale production, using state of the art machining and assembly equipment.
