About Us

Smart Design. Proven Motion Control Solutions.

At Weber Knapp, we engineer motion control solutions with one goal: to solve your toughest mechanical challenges. Whether it’s a lid that needs controlled lift, a hinge that must hold its position under load, or a counterbalance system tailored to tight tolerances — we collaborate with your team to deliver performance-driven results.

Since 1909, we’ve helped engineers and industrial designers transform ideas into manufacturable, durable, and scalable motion solutions. From early-stage prototyping to high-volume production, our American-made motion hardware helps your products perform better, last longer, and stand out.
