Hobart Brothers celebrates 100th anniversary

- News Release
- Consumables
Hobart Brothers Co., Troy, Ohio, marks its 100th anniversary in 2017. Founded on March 24, 1917, by C.C. Hobart, his wife, and three sons, the company has in its 100-year history manufactured battery chargers, introduced its first arc welder in 1925, built all-steel homes, and founded the Hobart Trade School (now the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology). The company also opened Hobart Ground Power in the 1940s, focusing on the design and development of generators for starting large aircraft.
Today the company is best known for formulating and manufacturing filler metals for the welding industry under the Hobart® brand, as well as manufacturing welding power sources. The company was family-owned and operated until 1996, when it was acquired by Illinois Tool Works (ITW).
