Original Saw Company, a leading industrial woodworking machinery manufacturer, has acquired Williams & Hussey Machine Co.  an exemplary producer of molders and profile knives.
 
With a heritage that dates to the 1950's, Williams & Hussey Machine Co. has been an industry leader in the manufacturing of molders and profile knives for over 60 years for the woodworking professional.  The business features a strong reputation for producing only the finest woodworking machinery.  This is a testament to their workmanship and proficiency. 
 
"Williams & Hussey Machine Co. is an iconic brand that shares many similarities with Original Saw Company.  These parallels include commitment to American made products and the highest quality production," said Allen Eden, President of Original Saw Company.  "By purchasing Williams & Hussey, it drives our future growth and expands our woodworking product offerings.  The company’s established brand aligns with our company goals to add industrial rated woodworking equipment to our offerings."
 
Founded in the late 1940's by Thurston Williams and Forrest Hussey, they began their business adventure manufacturing pumps and auto parts.  In the mid 1950's Williams & Hussey pivoted and began manufacturing molders.  Over the years, other product offerings were introduced, but none stood the test of time like the molder.  Today four molder models are produced along with profile knives.  Standard knife options are stocked and ready for immediate ship out.  Custom knives are created in collaboration with the customer to replicate profiles and encourage creativity. 
 
 "I am excited to add Williams & Hussey Machine Co. to our portfolio.  Through the years, both companies have emphasized customer service and excellence in quality.  We are planning for a smooth transition for Williams & Hussey customers, " said Eden
.
Operations will move during the first week of October from Amherst, New Hampshire, to the Britt, Iowa, headquarters that house Original Saw Company and subsidiaries Jones Machinery and OSC Technologies. 
 
Stephen Carter, President and CEO of Williams & Hussey Machine Co. commented, "I am confident our customers will receive the same quality service and products from Original Saw Company, which is also a small, family-owned, American-made company for 30 years.  What a great opportunity for the woodworking industry to have two manufacturing companies known for quality and service join forces."
