Location, telephone, e mail of a company called Hoffman that makes
wheel balancer machines that are used by auto repair shops to balance
wheels and tires on cars, while the wheel and tire stay on the car. 
This is in contrast to the usual way where the wheel and tire are
taken off the car and put on a machine.
The name if the Hoffman product is something like
Dyna-something.  

Not to be confused with a company called Huffman, which makes
balancers used on
machines.

Hello kilboj:

Well, I have to admit that I was getting pretty stumped looking for
the company called "Hoffman". I was able to find dozens of reference
to used Hoffman wheel balancing equipment, but no contact information
for the company itself. I just seemed really strange that there would
be no official web presence for such a popular company...

I was about to give up, when I stumbled upon a page that listed a
"Hofmann" wheel balancing company (next to another, non-automotive
"Hoffman" company).

Checking things out under that new spelling, I hit the jackpot. 

I'm certain what you are looking for is the "HOFMANN" company. [It is
not uncommon for many people to make these sorts of common spelling
errors (especially in Germanic-type names).]

Check out their website at:

Hofmann
http://www.hofmann-usa.com/index.html

They have a whole line of wheel balancing machines:

Wheel Balancers
http://www.hofmann-usa.com/products/WheelBalancers.html

which include several models called "Geodyna".

As for their location and contact information, it is:

PO Box 600 
LaVergne, Tennessee, USA 
37086 
Phone: 1-800-251-4500
