Our Story and Commitment
D&D Machining Services has a legacy rooted in craftsmanship and innovation that dates back to 1976, when our founder, Donald Helfrick, began his journey in the sawmill industry as an on-road millwright along the East Coast. Just a few years later, in 1979, he launched D&D Sawmill Services in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. With a focus on salvaging and repairing sawmills, Donald established a reputation for quality, durability, and unmatched customer service. Working alongside local machine shops, D&D Sawmill Services soon developed a proprietary line of high-quality replacement parts, making it a trusted name in supporting Frick machinery and the broader sawmill community.
Over the years, this dedication to service, innovation, and quality craftsmanship laid the foundation for D&D’s growth into the machining industry. The next generation, led by Shawn Goshorn, built upon this legacy by expanding the company’s offerings to include the D.L. Helfrick sawmill line—a brand focused on new, reliable machinery that carries forward our tradition of excellence.
Today, D&D Machining Services stands as a trusted provider of specialized machining solutions, offering CNC and manual machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and prototyping services. Our team is dedicated to bringing the same level of expertise and customer care that defined our origins in the sawmill industry to every machining project. We proudly serve the tri-state area, delivering precision parts and comprehensive machining solutions across various industries.
