Hobbs Corporation

The Hobbs name is well known world-wide for the development of quality electro-mechanical products. The invention of the first electrically wound automobile clock in 1938 created what is now known as Hobbs Corporation. John Weston Hobbs was the inventor that cultivated this electrically-wound vehicle clock into a company that has over the years expanded to include hour meters, pressure and vacuum switches, halogen lamps, transmission shifters, and other custom electro-mechanical products. Hobbs' broad customer and market base includes industries such as automotive, agricultural, material handling, construction, marine, medical, heavy truck, lawn and garden, recreational, generators, compressors and aviation. Hobbs' commitment to continuous improvement and total quality management will allow for further expansion of its product lines and customer base while maintaining the highest standards of excellence.
