Our Mission

Tompkins USA is the premier circular knitting machine manufacturer providing the highest grade machines, parts, service and accessories to keep our customers profitable and efficient.

Since 1846 Tompkins USA has excelled in providing robust, quality and innovative solutions you’ve come to expect from an American company with over 165 years of experience in the knitting industry. While Tompkins has always remained strong and dedicated to our customers, we were not immune to the economic pitfalls that have burdened the American textile industry within the past few decades. While wading the recent challenges within the textile industry, Tompkins has continued to persevere, solidifying its resolution to provide the best American circular knitting products on the market.

Now, more than ever Tompkins is poised to ensure we not only meet, but far exceed your expectations. Recent investment in technology, tooling and most importantly, our incredible people has allowed us to grow and improve our offerings. We hope these improvements will manifest in returns for you, our customers, by way of competitive advantage while allowing us to gain your trust through stronger partner relations.

Tompkins never left, and as in 1846 remains a true, proud American company in Syracuse, NY. We take pride in that and will continue to strive to uphold the ideals set forth early in the company’s history; quality, craftsmanship and productivity.

We look forward to helping you meet all of your circular knitting needs. Please let us know what we can do for you.
