OUR HISTORY

Our founder, Richard Hanlon, started in the Stud Welding Business in 1958. He was a salesman with Graham Manufacturing Company, Graham invented the Capacitor Discharge Stud Welding process. Richard Hanlon was a salesman selling to OEM Stud Welding & Industrial Insulating Fastening interests across the Midwest.

Hanlon began servicing several markets including: OEM Stud Welding, Industrial Insulation Fastening, and HVAC Sheet Metal.

Over the years, Hanlon Equipment evolved from a manufacturers representative into a full service distributor. Products were stocked in Chicago and Hanlon set up a stud welding service center.

The company is now run by Richard's son Mark. Mark has been in the stud welding business for over 30 years. He has a wealth of experience in sales as well as providing technical support and repair for most makes of stud welding equipment. Mark has grown Hanlon into the full-service stud welding supplier it is today by expanding into Arc welders and generator rigs.

His daughter Kim recently joined Hanlon working in the office and providing marketing expertise.
