Company History

W. H. Cooke & Co., Inc. was founded in 1963 by Wayne H. Cooke Sr. The company began as an industrial instrument repair house operating out of a modest row home located at 1440 S. Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland about a mile from Ft. McHenry, the birthplace of our National Anthem. Our original name "Industrial Instrument Repair Co." was changed to W. H. Cooke & Co., Inc. in 1969.

The main focus of the company shifted from service to sales as we acquired product lines as a Representative for Manufacturers of instrumentation and related products.

In 1975, Mr. Cooke Sr. moved the business to Finksburg, Maryland and began manufacturing thermocouples and RTDs, while the rep / distributor part of the business continued to grow. In 1979, the instrument repair business was sold and in January, 2006 we moved to our current facility at 6868 York Rd. (Rt. 116 East) in Hanover, Pennsylvania just 5 miles from the Mason-Dixon Line. Hanover is located mid way between Gettysburg and York, Pennsylvania in the south central part of the state.
