Nielsen Hardware Corporation operates in defense and space manufacturing, specializing in engineered hardware solutions. The company traces its origins to 1912, when two Hartford, Connecticut machinists opened a workshop known for precise components used by both civilian brands and military customers, including early work for the Royal Typewriter Company and Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Today the business is based in Binghamton, New York, at a modern facility and maintains a small, specialized team. In 1944, the firm redirected its production toward specialized case and container hardware, reinforcing its civilian market niche. A subsequent merger with J.H. Sessions & Sons in 1993 expanded its hardware capabilities, with ISO certification earned by Nielsen Sessions in 1996, and the company eventually relocating to the current Binghamton facility to support its customer-focused manufacturing.
