Hillary Machinery Inc Celebrates 25 Years in 2009

Hillary Machinery Inc was founded in 1984 by Patrick E. Hillary Jr. And David J. Weber as a tax free spin-off of Koch Machinery Company of Houston, then one of the largest fabricating equipment dealers in the State of Texas. Dave Weber, the company's current President, joined the organization in 1978 prior to the formation of Hillary Machinery Inc, to grow the machining equipment sales division in North Texas. Since then, Hillary Machinery Inc has diversified its product and service portfolio to include fabrication and machining equipment, retrofit and remanufacture, machine tool accessories, cutting tools metalworking fluids, field service, applications support, local warranty support, and local parts support.

In 25 years, Hillary Machinery Inc has become one of the largest machine tool dealer service organizations in the State of Texas growing its annual sales to over $40 Million and employing 25 sales, technical support, and administrative personnel throughout the state with offices in Dallas and Houston.

Hillary Machinery Inc boasts quite an impressive customer list that includes Nasa, Bell Helicopter, Texas Instruments, Flextronics, Raytheon, L3 Communications, Trane, Lockheed Martin, Vought Aircraft, Weber Aircraft, Cutler-Hammer, Crouse Hinds (Division of Cooper Industries), Letourneau, Alcoa/Howmet, Reynolds Aluminum, Pratt & Whitney, American Airlines, Baker Hughes, ITT Goulds Pump, Sanden International, Tyler Pipe, Baker Oil Tools, Red River Army Depot, Corpus Christi Army Depot, Dorian Tool, Siemens, Dresser, Mitsubishi, Tyco Valve, Schlumberger, Hydril, Varco, Smith International, Lufkin Industries, Cooper Cameron, FMC, Ameriforge, Trinity Industries, National Oil Well/Varco, Solar Turbine, Thrustmaster and hundreds of small, medium, and large job shops and contract manufacturers throughout the State of Texas. Troy Owen, Hillary's VP Sales & Marketing explains that "Hillary Machinery Inc is structured specifically to support job shops, contract manufacturers, and original equipment manufacturers of all sizes with the same level of commitment. This has been one of our greatest vehicles for growth over the past several years."

The company is a leading distributor for MAG Fadal, MAG Giddings & Lewis, MAG Cincinnati, Hyundai-Kia Machine America, Milltronics Manufacturing, and Quickmill, and they have been recognized as a top dealer for Siemens, Cincinnati Incorporated, and Timesavers Incorporated in the course of their growth.

The company is currently owned and operated by Dave Weber, Doug Weber, and Troy Owen. Dave Weber has been with Hillary Machinery Inc since its inception and now serves as the company's President. He was educated at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois where he received his Bachelors Degree in Mathematics. Dave Weber explains, "My philosophy is to provide a family atmosphere for our employees, sell our customers the best machine for their application, and then provide service and support that exceeds their expectations."

Doug Weber joined the organization in 1995 and was educated at the University of Texas at Arlington where he received his BBA in Business Management in 1992 and currently serves as the company's VP and General Manager. According to Doug, "Our people continuously demonstrate their dedication to Hillary Machinery through a willingness to serve the customer. If they can achieve this, they have lived up to our expectations." Doug further explains that "a solid reputation for technical service and support is just as important before the sale as it is after the sale. When you give a customer or potential customer your word that you will service their equipment, you're also giving them your word that you have the resources to keep that promise."

Troy Owen joined the company in 1997 and now serves as the company's VP Sales & Marketing. He received his BBA in Business Management from the University of North Texas in 1990. According to Troy, he has a simple goal for his sales people, "go out every day intent on discovering new business relationships and strengthen those you have already forged. Do that sincerely and people will always want to partner with you." Troy added, "I will always remember what our founder, Pat Hillary, told me one day." He said, "We would rather invest in people, not fancy showrooms, lavish offices, or extravagant vacations. The right people make it happen; they make everything happen." Troy adds, "When we hire the right people, compensate and reward them fairly and earn their trust, they will take care of our customers accordingly."

Hillary Machinery Inc's employees are largely responsibly for Hillary's success over the past 25 years.

with installations throughout the world providing unique technologies and services to meet the diverse needs of the key industrial sectors. A growing number of leading international companies are relying on the impressive innovative power of MAG to assure their technological leadership and prepare for future challenges.

Fadal Machining Centers has taken significant steps to discontinue the production of its machining center product line in Chatsworth, CA and relocate production to Giddings & Lewis, it's sister company / facility in Fon Du Lac, WI in 2009. The Chatsworth California facility will remain Fadal's West Coast Regional Tech Center serving West coast dealers and customers.

  • Fadal Plans Auction of Production Machinery - Following the decision to relocate to Fon Du Lac, WI, Fadal plans auction of existing production machinery for April 23, 2009. Please call Fadal at 818-407-1400 for more details.

  • MAG Fadal to Re-Focus on Higher End Product Line - MAG, Fadal's parent company will re-direct Fadal's vertical machining center strengths to re-focus and introduce several new high value machining center products to fill in product gaps that currently exist within the MAG product portfolio. MAG's new NBV range of vertical machining centers will provide a broad choice in the 250 to 1,000mm work zone with three axis, five axis and universal configurations, including dual spindles/tables.

    The NBV product line concept will be extended from the 2,000 to 5,000mm work zone categories with the FTV range of machines. Investments in further developments and updates to the FTV style of machine so that it fully complements the new NBV line is planned as well. Based on the introduction of the new NBV product line later this year, MAG will not be pursuing further development of the CF product line which had been demonstrated at several recent exhibitions. In addition, MAG will soon be introducing a new family of 500 & 630mm pallet size, standalone HMC machines derived from our very successful "Platform 1" for agile line modules in powertrain systems. These HMC's will be introduced to our regional sales force in March and available for you to sell in the second quarter of this year. The production site will be in the U.S., at our Port Huron, MI plant.

    Complementing these new mid-range products, MAG will resume production of the Fadal 6535 VMC in Fond du Lac later this year, but it's likely that the smaller Fadal VMC machines will be discontinued following relocation to Fond Du Lac.

  • MAG Assures Customers of Continued Support of Fadal Machining Centers Via Maintenance Technologies - Regardless of the decisions to discontinue certain models, MAG is committed to continue to provide parts and service to support all MAG-Fadal customers and their machines through it's extensive dealer network throughout the world.

  • Offers Heavy Discounts on Remaining Inventory - As a result of the economic downturn, building out the inventory, and it's decision to discontinue several models of VMC's, MAG Fadal currently has over 130 Fadal VMC's in stock. Most of the machines are being offered at 15 to 30 percent of regular factory list prices with a full parts and labor warranty.

    • 2216's (22"x16"x20") from $43,000 - $53,000

    • 3016's (30" x 16" x 20") from $48,000 - $68,000

    • 4020's (40"x20"x20") from $63,000 to $93,000

    • 4525's (45" x 25" x 24") from $99,000 to $112,000

    • 6030's (60" x 30" x 30") Under $120,000
