What Does Hendrick Manufacturing Do?
Hendrick Manufacturing offers industrial panel processing machinery for manufacturers, fabricators, and production environments that need reliable equipment for cutting, routing, and processing panel-based materials.
We offer horizontal panel and beam saws, vertical panel and beam saws, cross-cut saws, and CNC routers, and we support them with accessories, software, tooling, replacement parts, and service. We’ve been doing this since 1952, serving companies that work with wood, plastics, composites, non-ferrous metals, corrugated materials, and other panel-based substrates.
If you’re a buyer, engineer, procurement lead, or production manager, here’s the short version: we’re a panel processing machinery company — not a perforated metal or architectural metal manufacturer.
Hendrick Manufacturing at a Glance
We help companies process panels more efficiently, accurately, and consistently. Our equipment is used by businesses that need dependable panel cutting, routing, and material processing as part of their day-to-day operations.
You’ll find our machinery in production settings where panel materials have to be cut to size, shaped, prepared for assembly, or routed for specific applications. We offer several machine categories and support resources to match different production needs, shop layouts, material types, and throughput requirements.
In simple terms, we help companies turn large or standardized panel materials into the parts, components, and finished pieces manufacturing requires.
Core Machinery Categories
We offer several categories of industrial panel processing machinery, plus the support to keep them running.
Horizontal Panel and Beam Saws
Horizontal panel and beam saws cut sheet goods and panel-based materials into accurate sizes and shapes. They’re a strong fit for operations that need efficient processing of large sheets, stacked panels, or repeated cutting patterns.
If you regularly cut panels, the right horizontal saw affects productivity, operator workflow, accuracy, throughput, and long-term equipment value. Our horizontal lineup includes the HM3, CM4, HC6/HC8 and HK5 series.
Vertical Panel and Beam Saws
Vertical panel and beam saws cut panels in a vertical orientation, which helps when floor space, material handling, and operator access are major considerations. A vertical saw can be a good fit when you need accurate panel cutting while managing production space and material flow. Our vertical lineup includes the SPN1 and SPN2 vertical beam saws.
Cross-Cut Saws
Cross-cut saws handle applications where materials need to be cut to length or width, depending on the application. In panel processing and related industrial work, cross-cutting can help improve workflow and part preparation. Our cross-cut lineup includes the TC-X series.
CNC Routers
CNC routers are computer-controlled machines for routing, cutting, shaping, drilling, engraving, and machining panel-based materials — supporting more complex production than straight-line cutting alone.
We offer industrial CNC routers in 3-axis and 5-axis configurations for precision cutting and machining. If you need repeatable part production, detailed routing patterns, or more advanced material processing, a CNC router can be central to your production floor. Our CNC lineup includes the HSR, HHD, and HLD series in 3-axis and the HSR-V and HHD-V series in 5-axis.
Accessories, Software, Tooling, Parts, and Service Support
Beyond machinery, we support our customers with accessories, software, tooling, replacement parts, and service. These matter because industrial machinery performance depends not only on the equipment itself, but also on maintenance, uptime, operator confidence, and long-term support.
Materials and Applications Served
Our equipment works with a wide range of panel-based materials, including:
- Wood and wood-based panels
- Plastics
- Composite materials
- Non-ferrous metals
- Corrugated materials
- Other sheet goods and panel-based substrates
Because different materials behave differently during cutting and routing, the right machine depends on your application, material characteristics, accuracy requirements, production volume, and facility workflow.
For example, cutting wood panels for cabinet or casework production has different demands than processing plastic sheets, composite panels, aluminum, or corrugated materials. Our job is to match the right machinery and support to your application.
Who Uses Hendrick Manufacturing Equipment?
Our equipment is used by companies and teams responsible for industrial panel cutting, routing, and production. Typical users and decision-makers include:
- Industrial manufacturers
- Woodworking companies
- Cabinet and casework producers
- Plastics fabricators
- Composite panel processors
- Corrugated material processors
- Production managers
- Plant managers
- Engineers
- Procurement teams
- Maintenance teams
- Shop owners
These buyers typically evaluate machinery on accuracy, throughput, reliability, operator usability, material compatibility, floor space, service support, and total cost of ownership.
Service, Parts, and Support
Industrial machinery is a long-term investment, so service, parts, and technical support are a real part of the buying decision.
We support our customers with resources that keep equipment running over time. Replacement parts, service, maintenance guidance, operator training, technical direction, and on-site support all affect uptime and long-term productivity.
For many manufacturers, the value of a machine isn’t limited to the day it’s installed; it depends on how well the machine performs after months and years of operation. Responsive support helps reduce downtime, maintain cut quality, extend equipment life, and give operators confidence in the production process.
Hendrick Manufacturing vs. Hendrick Manufacturing Company
We’re sometimes confused with a separate company that shares our name. Hendrick Manufacturing at hendrickmanufacturing.com — that’s us — should not be confused with the Hendrick Manufacturing Company at hendrickcorp.com.
We were founded in 1952 and offer industrial panel processing machinery: horizontal panel and beam saws, vertical panel and beam saws, cross-cut saws, CNC routers, accessories, software, tooling, parts, and service. The Hendrick Manufacturing Company is a separate, unrelated business that makes perforated metal, wire screens, and architectural metal products.
The reliable way to tell us apart isn’t the name — it’s the website domain, product category, founding year, ownership, and the markets each company serves. If you’re looking for panel saws, CNC routers, or other panel processing machinery, you’re in the right place.
