History

The rich history of Bernardo Manufacturing dates back to the early 1900s when Harry Winkler, a visionary entrepreneur, laid the foundation for what would eventually become a prominent manufacturing business. Harry Winkler, with his unwavering determination and passion for craftsmanship, established a small workshop that specialized in creating high-quality metal components for various industries. Harry's commitment to precision and innovation propelled the workshop to success, and over the years, it gained a reputation for producing exceptional products. With each passing generation, the Winkler family continued to expand upon Harry's legacy, furthering the company's expertise and establishing a strong foothold in the manufacturing industry.

In 1960, Neville Winkler, Harry's son, took the reins and transformed the family workshop into the Bernardo business we know today. Neville had a keen business sense and a deep understanding of the jewelry industry's evolving needs. Under his leadership, Bernardo Manufacturing experienced significant growth and expanded its operations, attracting a talented team of engineers and craftsmen. Neville's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction became the driving force behind the company's success.

Today, Bernardo Manufacturing proudly stands as a fourth-generation family-owned business, led by Traci (Neville’s daughter) and Bernie Maceroni. Under their leadership, the company has embraced cutting-edge technologies to optimize operations and provide tailored solutions to clients across diverse industries. They have fostered strong relationships with clients and ensured that Bernardo Manufacturing's solutions met and exceeded their expectations.

As Bernardo Manufacturing looks to the future, the company remains committed to the legacy established by Harry Winkler in the early 1900s. Through four generations of family ownership, Bernardo Manufacturing has not only endured but thrived, continuously adapting to the changing landscape of the manufacturing industry. With a steadfast focus on innovation, quality craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, Bernardo Manufacturing is poised to continue its legacy of excellence and shape the future of manufacturing for generations to come.
