During
the early part of the last century, the year 1904, a tailor
in Syracuse, New York named Mr.
Asa Hoffman had injured his shoulder, which prevented
him from being able to lift and use his heavy iron for pressing.
To enable him to keep his small tailor shop going, he devised
a finishing press machine controllable by foot. By chance
a businessman, caught in a rainstorm and in need of urgent
pressing of his wet, wrinkled suit before an important business
meeting, saw this new pressing machine. He was so impressed
with the machine that he encouraged development and production
of it with these two men joining forces as partners. Thus,
the original Hoffman "X" Press and founding of the Hoffman
Pressing Machine Company.
Hoffman/New
Yorker, Inc. is the oldest manufacturer solely
of specialized presses and is the result of two separate
companies coming together to join their specialties, the
Hoffman Pressing Machine Company established in 1904, and
the New Yorker Pressing Machine Company. The company designs,
manufactures and markets, worldwide, two distinct product
programs consisting of garment/apparel presses for the garment
manufacturers and laundry/dry cleaning presses for the processors.
Today, we maintain these product programs as two Divisions
and have added specialized fusing machinery particularly
for shirt makers, a program of world renowned wrinkle free
processing machinery for trousers and shirts, a product
line of automated vertical machines for specific tailored
clothing manufacturing needs, and a line of electric boilers/generators
used for jewelry steam cleaning, auto trim shops, dental
labs, tailor shops and steam baths.
The
executive and accounting offices are located near New York
City, in Bloomfield, New Jersey,
and the manufacturing facility is located in Dushore,
Pennsylvania, which is about 50 miles west of
Scranton, Pennsylvania. Also located at the Dushore facility
is the Engineering Department,
for better interfacing with manufacturing and our customers,
and the Repair Parts Department,
so we can process spare parts orders in as fast a manner
as possible, with most being shipped the same day received.
Hoffman/New
Yorker is committed
to Total Customer Satisfaction
by providing high quality products and services. We will
achieve this by consistently meeting and exceeding their
expectations. We will maintain an environment of continuous
improvement in every element of our business and empower
employees to achieve their best in individual performance
and teamwork. Management shall ensure that this policy is
understood, implemented and maintained at all levels throughout
Hoffman/New Yorker.
