Since 1919, Palmgren has been a leading brand in metalworking machinery, trusted by professionals and new machinists alike. Founded by Clarence Palmgren, who earned recognition for his innovative designs and patents, he revolutionized the industry by creating the first machine vises, cross slides, and rotary tables—improving efficiency and productivity for metalworking manufacturers worldwide.
Palmgren’s early innovations laid the groundwork for the brand’s enduring reputation for quality and innovation. Today, Palmgren remains a market leader, not only with its vises and positioning tables but across its entire expanded metalworking product range.
In 2013, recognizing Palmgren's strong brand legacy and the need for supplier consolidation, C.H. Hanson acquired Palmgren Steel Products. Palmgren continues to deliver durable, high-quality tools and solutions that address the needs of the metalworking industry. Professionals globally trust Palmgren’s products, and we are dedicated to helping users "Embrace the Work™" through superior products and service at every stage of our business relationships.
