The woodworking industry thrives on relationships and hands-on demonstrations, and the annual Hermance Expo 2025 exemplified these values perfectly. This May 14-15, 2025, Cresswood Shredding Machinery was proud to return to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, continuing our longstanding partnership with one of the industry’s most respected machinery dealers.
For over 120 years, Hermance Machine Company has been providing top-quality industrial machinery to companies of all sizes. Since their recent acquisition by Würth Baer Supply, Hermance has strengthened their position as a premier distributor while maintaining their commitment to customer service. As longtime colleagues, Cresswood and Hermance share a dedication to providing customers with reliable American made industrial shredders and the support that keeps operations running smoothly.
Building on Previous Success
Our participation in Hermance Expo 2025 builds on the success of our previous showcase in 2023, where we demonstrated how world class industrial grinders integrate seamlessly into real-world woodworking operations. This year’s two-day event featured live demonstrations, educational seminars, and free admission with lunch for all attendees. Cresswood proudly contributed to the welcoming atmosphere by providing a coffee basket for the door prize drawings, with our logos featured on the event bags distributed to visitors.
Showcasing Comprehensive Recycling Solutions
At the heart of our exhibit was a display of wood recycling shredders designed to address diverse waste processing needs. From cabinet shops dealing with cutoffs to large facilities processing pallet waste, our equipment lineup demonstrated practical solutions for improving efficiency while reducing disposal costs.
Our featured wood waste recycling shredders showcased the engineering excellence that has made Cresswood trusted in the industry for over 30 years. Attendees could see how our horizontal grinders process long, awkward waste materials into uniform chips, transforming labor-intensive disposal challenges into automated, hands-free operations. The integration capabilities with dust collection systems demonstrated clean, efficient processing that addresses both environmental and safety concerns.
Beyond wood applications, we highlighted our broader recycling capabilities including pallet recycling shredders for logistics operations, plastic recycling pre-shredders for manufacturing facilities, and paper recycling shredders for packaging companies. This comprehensive approach demonstrates how the right shredding technology supports sustainable operations across multiple material streams.
Meaningful Customer Connections
One of the most valuable aspects of Hermance Expo 2025 is connecting with existing customers and hearing their success stories. We had meaningful conversations with woodworking professionals who shared how our equipment has transformed their operations, reduced labor costs, and improved workplace safety.
These discussions reinforced that world class industrial grinders serve as integral parts of efficient production workflows, not just disposal solutions. Whether processing edgings from high-production rip saws or handling rejected materials from quality control, the right equipment eliminates bottlenecks and creates safer work environments.
The expo also attracted new prospects interested in quotes for various applications, from small horizontal grinders for specialized millwork to larger systems for significant waste volumes. Each conversation provided insights into evolving industry needs and reinforced our commitment to engineering solutions that address real-world challenges.
Strengthening Industry Partnerships
Beyond customer interactions, Hermance Expo 2025 provides important networking opportunities with other equipment manufacturers, dealers, and industry professionals. These relationships often lead to innovative integration opportunities where our American made industrial shredders work alongside complementary equipment to create comprehensive production solutions.
The collaborative atmosphere reflects values that make both companies successful: focus on customer service, technical expertise, and long-term relationships rather than transactional sales. This alignment makes our partnership with Hermance particularly effective, as both organizations understand that supporting customers means providing ongoing service, parts availability, and technical support long after equipment delivery.
Looking Forward
The success of our Hermance Expo 2025 participation reflects growing industry focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, and waste reduction. Our partnership with Hermance Machine Company, strengthened by their expanded resources under Würth Baer Supply, positions both organizations to serve this evolving market effectively.
As we continue building sustainable solutions together, we’re reminded that the best equipment emerges from understanding real customer challenges and building lasting relationships. The conversations and demonstrations at Hermance Expo 2025 contribute to our mission of providing reliable American made industrial shredders that deliver consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
At Cresswood, we understand that purchasing capital equipment is a significant investment. We’re committed to providing not just high-quality machinery, but also the support and partnership that ensure long-term success. Our smart investment solutions are designed to maximize cash flow while delivering operational improvements that drive business growth.
