Company operating in a very specialised field of very little interest to the general public. No evidence of notability. Sources cited appear to be PR generated announcements rather than external news indicating notability. Privately held import/export entity.

(I may have violated some Byzantine wikipedia rule/law/policy/thingy regarding a second PROD which I thought was nicer than an Afd. In any case, I still think this is a typical spam-cruft "my organization is so cool it needs a wikipedia article." Quartermaster (talk) 00:18, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

• Delete. Another corporate spam just like Process Plus LLC. Even the tone and layout is the same. Is some PR outfit mass-producing these WP storefront articles? Anyway, the references consist of the usual trade journal mentions which do not establish notability. The third reference (Salgado, Brian...) fails verification. Delete this thing.Perchloric (talk) 16:29, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

• The objector is ignorant of the manufacturing process. Anything that spins -- whether tiny or gigantic, commercial or military -- requires balancing. American Hofmann is one of the top balancing businesses in the world with a global marketplace for nearly every industry. American Hofmann balancers touch the components that generate your electricity, the turbochargers that drive your fast cars, and the airplanes that transport you and your defense. Customers of note include GE, Pratt & Whitney, the US military, Rolls-Royce, etc. located in the USA, China, Vietnam, Australia, Saudi Arabia, UK, and nearly every developed country in the world. The company s also noteworthy because it's the only major American Balancing company whose products are designed and built in the USA. It's major competitor (Schenck) presents an American face, but its actual balancing machines are built in China.

Please give me a little time and I will re-write the article to meet Wikipedia stands. (I would have logged in, but for some reason my login isn't working.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.26.71.3 (talk) 16:13, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
