In 1894, three men formed Dent Hardware Co. in Newark, New Jersey and shortly after moved to Fullerton, PA. The partners were Mr. Kaiser, Mr. Newhard and Mr. Dent, grandfather of the founder of Dent Manufacturing.
They ran a very successful company and during the 1920’s were the nation’s leading manufacturer of refrigeration ‘Ice Boxes’. The company was also a major manufacturer of iron children’s toys. At it’s peak in the 1920’s, Dent Hardware Co. employed over 400 people.
In 1955, the Dent’s sold out to the Newhard’s and founded Dent Manufacturing Inc. in Northampton, PA. The manufacturing facility was built in three stages, during 1956, 1960 and 1962, growing to it’s a size of 22,000 square feet.
Dent Manufacturing Inc. was owned and managed by Henry H. Dent and William Swope, a pattern maker and owner of Swope & Bartholomew Pattern Shop.
