GREENSBORO, NC – In an era where corporate ownership frequently shifts overseas, Wysong Fabrication Equipment stands as a testament to American ingenuity, resilience, and family-driven leadership. Founded in 1903 as Wysong & Miles, the company has remained American-owned and operated for more than 120 years, now proudly run by the Hall/Herr family in its fourth generation of leadership.
The Legacy of Wysong & Miles
Wysong’s origins date back to the early 20th century, when T.A. Wysong and R.N. Miles recognized the growing need for precision metalworking machinery in America’s expanding industrial sector. Under the name Wysong & Miles, the company quickly became known for its innovative metal fabrication equipment, supplying manufacturers across the country with the tools they needed to build, create, and grow.
As America entered the World War era, Wysong & Miles played a crucial role in the nation’s defense efforts, producing metalworking equipment that contributed to military manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aircraft production. Their impact on American industry was undeniable, helping to fuel the war effort and rebuild the nation’s economy in the post-war years.
Four Generations of Family Ownership
Through economic booms, recessions, and global shifts in manufacturing, Wysong has remained steadfast in its commitment to the industry. Now owned and operated by the Hall/Herr family, the company’s leadership has continued to prioritize innovation, customer service, and a commitment to the metal fabrication industry.
Unlike many competitors that have undergone corporate buyouts or foreign acquisitions, Wysong remains an independent, family-led company, ensuring that customer relationships, product quality, and industry expertise remain at the core of its operations.
A Commitment to American Industry
While global manufacturing trends continue to evolve, Wysong remains dedicated to supporting American fabricators and manufacturers. Through its line of press brakes, shears, and fiber lasers, the company provides cutting-edge solutions for job shops, industrial manufacturers, and large-scale production facilities across North America.
“Wysong has always been about strength, reliability, and the fabricators who keep America running,” said a company spokesperson. “We take immense pride in our heritage, our leadership, and the fact that we continue to serve the metalworking industry with innovation and integrity after more than a century in business.”
Looking to the Future
As Wysong continues into its fourth generation of leadership, the company remains focused on providing fabricators with the tools they need to compete in a fast-changing industry. With a legacy built on trust, innovation, and a commitment to its customers, Wysong stands poised to lead the next era of metal fabrication technology.
