Founded in 1880, the R.W. Hartnett Company is the world's original manufacturer of pharmaceutical and confectionary printing machines. In 1945, R.W. Hartnett was commissioned by the Ford Gum Company to create a machine to print on their line of gumballs. The printer was a huge success and we quickly found our niche manufacturing the highest-quality printers for the pharmaceutical and confectionary industries. We have machines that will suit all of your pharma and candy printing needs. Our printers are capable of printing on tablets, capsules, softgels, lentils and more. We also specialize in laser drilling and laser etching. Our machinery and products reside in over 40 countries worldwide. All of our machines are manufactured in the United States in our warehouse in Philadelphia, PA.
