What Hartmanns does

Hartmann's Inc. is a privately held, family-owned precision CNC machining and contract manufacturing company founded in 1955 by Edwin Hartmann in Abilene, Texas, and currently led by multiple generations of the Hartmann family (Patricia Hartmann as Board Chair, Alan Hartmann as CEO, Kari Hartmann-McMichael as CFO, Ronnie Hartmann as COO). The company operates a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Abilene with 26 CNC machines and a secondary site in Jacksonville, Florida, delivering multi-axis CNC milling, CNC turning, wire EDM, precision grinding, lapping, finishing, heat treatment, welding, fabrication, reverse engineering, and in-house CMM and 3D laser-scanning inspection with tolerances to ±0.0002 inches.

The business sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting aerospace, defense, medical device, industrial/energy, and commercial OEMs, supported by AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, HUBZone, SBA, and BABA certifications. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts for custom parts and production runs from 1 to 100,000+ units, priced via quote-based digital workflows on Paperless Parts with a 72-hour quote guarantee. Named customers include Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, LifeNet Health, Cummins Engine, Emerson Automation, and Turtle & Hughes. The company also operates Paradigm Solutions, a division commercializing the proprietary PD Series Dispensers for precision liquid dosing. Distribution is direct-to-customer with no intermediary channels, and all machining is performed domestically in the United States.
