BORDEN, Ind. & GORDONVILLE, Penn. — Northtech Machine and AW Machinery announced a strategic partnership which will expand access to Northtech woodworking machines throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding regions through AW's distribution network. 

The partnership is effective immediately. As part of the agreement, AW Machinery will become an authorized dealer for Northtech products, and discontinue its proprietary Stonewood-branded line of imported products. AW Machinery however will continue to manufacture and support “Stonewood USA” domestically made equipment, that complement Northtech's production-optimizing machines.

“We are excited to unite with AW Machinery to bring Northtech’s robust line of machinery to a broader audience in Pennsylvania,” said Alex Dillion, national sales manager of Northtech. “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering durable, high-value equipment conveniently to customers who demand quality and reliability.”

“By offering Northtech equipment through our new AW Machinery East showroom, we can now provide our customers in the Pennsylvania area with a broader, more consistent line of machines — supported by our local sales and service team,” said Issac Roth at AW Machinery. “We believe this shift will better meet the needs of our customers by partnering with Northtech, while strengthening our service capabilities across the region.”

AW Machinery is a full-service woodworking machinery dealer and distributor, offering sales, parts, and service support. The company recently opened a showroom in Gordonville, Pennsylvania, AW Machinery East, to better serve customers in the state and surrounding areas.

Northtech Machine is a provider of industrial-grade woodworking equipment, including sanders, planers, moulders, dovetailers, saws, dust collectors, and shapers, that meet the demands of professional woodshops, furniture makers, and millwork operations. The company has won awards for its machinery innovations, including IWF Challengers Awards in 2024 for the iGlue and in 2022 for the iDovetail.
