Hernon Manufacturing moved to Sanford, Florida in 1989 and has seen rapid growth in years since including an average of double digit sales growth for the last four years. At a time when US manufacturing seems to be a thing of the past, this small business is thriving and has boosted exports from 25 countries four years ago to over 50 nations today. When asked how a small manufacturing company in the US can be exhibiting such growth, Harry replied “Hernon offers thousands of adhesive and sealant formulas as well as dispensing equipment and curing lights but these are just components to for our real product. What we really sell, and what customers really want, is a total end to end solution. We have found that when we focus on providing a total solution and anticipating our customer’s needs by providing unparalleled access to our engineering teams that the material and equipment orders just keep coming.”
