Hoffman Industrial ~ over 164 years of Experience

Hoffman Industrial adapts to needs of Erie area customers.

Hoffman Industrial Company, formerly Hoffman Riggers, has been in business since 1846 and has the distinction of being the oldest company on record in Erie, Pennsylvania. Hoffman’s earliest work was in house and barn moving during the mid 19th century when the Erie area was being developed. The turn of the century brought new challenges: the Industrial Revolution and the World Wars led to a major increase in manufacturing plants in the Erie area, increasing the need for industrial services. Hoffman’s experienced workforce looked forward to the new challenges and expanded its service offerings to include moving and installing heavy machinery and equipment for industry. Today, Hoffman continues to serve the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, offering additional services such as hauling, plant maintenance, warehouse storage, scrap and used equipment resale, steel fabrication, transportation services and project management.

Extensive experience defines the Hoffman workforce.

The combined experience of Hoffman Industrial’s rigging crews is unmatched in the Erie area. Our men possess a broad range of skills in addition to their expertise in moving heavy equipment. Hoffman and its workers have a “lifetime commitment” mentality – many begin with us as young men and stay with the company for years, often their entire working career. They use their wealth of experience to complete work efficiently and effectively for our customers.

We are extremely proud of our men and their loyalty and service to Hoffman is unparalleled.

Industry specialists round out the Hoffman team.

Our project manager has worked extensively for Minster Press, helping to install their machinery all over the world and providing start up and computer control expertise. From start to finish he oversees every project that comes to Hoffman, which includes cost estimation, scheduling labor, material and equipment needs. This translates into efficiency and cost savings for our customers.

At Hoffman we believe the success of our business is not only based on the excellent work of our skilled employees, but also on the strength of our relationships with our customers.
