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 house 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. built a 7500 square foot building at 2926 Industrial Park Dr. in Finksburg, Maryland and began manufacturing thermocouples and RTDs, while the rep part of the business continued to grow.  In 1979, the instrument repair business was sold.  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 (Civil war battleground) and York, Pennsylvania (home of the Harley Davidson motorcycle factory).

Today, W. H. Cooke & Co. continues to operate as a Manufacturer's Rep / Distributor and a Manufacturer of temperature sensors and specialty control systems.  As a regional representative, we cover Maryland, Washington, DC., Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia.  Our temperature sensors and control systems are marketed to OEMs, distributors and users nationwide.  A small portion of our products are exported to Canada, Mexico and South America.
