Company History

Acker Drill Company was founded in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania in 1917 by W.L. Acker, Sr., and quickly found success manufacturing products for coal exploration as well as providing contract drilling throughout the Eastern United States. Following World War II, after a decline in demand for anthracite coal, Acker began to diversify its efforts by developing and manufacturing a wide range of drill units and tools for the mineral exploration/geotechnical markets. As a result of this change, as well as a number of product innovations, Acker experienced steady growth and quickly became a major player within the drilling industry. Today, Acker Drill is world renowned, currently having exported to over 106 countries worldwide.

Throughout our company’s 90 year history, our name has become synonymous with high quality, innovation, and exemplary customer service. This legacy continues to this day. Today, we pride ourselves on having an ultra-modern shop with an almost endless array of capabilities, with old fashioned values and attention to detail. We continuously strive to improve our manufacturing capabilities by utilizing decades of combined knowledge within our engineering department with hundreds of collective years experience among our machinists. And although our company is always looking towards the future, we don’t forget our past. Engrained in us is the goal to provide our customers with products of the highest quality, something that has never changed. We frequently receive calls from satisfied customers all around the world who praise our product’s quality and reliability, some with drill units in service for over 40 years. We believe that 40 years from now, Acker will be receiving the same calls.
