Hubbell Incorporated, Orange, CT has a long history. The Company was founded in 1888 by Harvey Hubbell. Harvey Hubbell
worked with ideas. Finding better ways. While Thomas Edison
was discovering the potential of electricity, Harvey Hubbell
created the first practical method to control it. His pull chain
light bulb socket remains unchanged today. Later he developed the electrical plug and wall device arrangement that is
so familiar to each of us. Hubbell Incorporated has grown to
become a diversified Company with multiple manufacturing
plants and multiple markets around the globe.
In 1978, Hubbell purchased Ohio Brass (OB). This purchase
marked the Company’s entry into and commitment to the
electric utility industry. In 1994, A. B. Chance was acquired and
the Hubbell Power Systems (HPS) Platform was established.
Anderson followed in 1996, with Fargo in 1998. Chardon Electrical Components quickly followed as an HPS family member
in 1999. HPS markets a wide variety of products under the individual company brands (Anderson, Chance, Delmar, Hipotronics, Hubbell
Cable Accessories, Fargo, Ohio
Brass, Polycast and Quazite) and 20 product lines.
