WECA’s new Industry Partner, Hubbell Incorporated, was founded in 1888 by American inventor and entrepreneur Harvey Hubbell II. Hubbell, who seized on the opportunities created by the commercial availability of electric power and the advent of the lightbulb, filed pioneering patents like the “pull chain lamp socket” and “separable plug and receptacle”. These patents dramatically changed the way people lived and worked and catapulted Hubbell into an era of innovation, creating never-seen-before products and solutions for a rapidly growing customer base.

Hubbell Incorporated is a leading manufacturer of utility and electrical solutions that help build more reliable, resilient, and renewable energy infrastructure. The company manufactures high-quality critical infrastructure solutions strategically aligned around clean energy megatrends, including grid modernization and energy efficiency.

“With over 135 years of experience, 56 brands, and more than 18,000 employees worldwide, Hubbell delivers best-in-class solutions that electrify economies and energize communities,” said Bob Allen, the Regional Contractor Sales Manager – West for Hubbell Incorporated.

Hubbell differentiates itself from its competitors by offering one of the deepest and broadest brand portfolios in the electrical market.

“When you choose Hubbell, you are choosing innovation backed by more than 130 years of trust, quality, and reliability,” said Allen.

Moreover, Allen said that WECA Member Contractors will benefit from working with Hubbell Incorporated because “Most of the key brands within Hubbell have a direct salesforce, which will allow your members to build relationships directly with a manufacturer. The sales team will work with your members on their product knowledge, project support and solutions, product trainings, and offer overall support with their Hubbell brands.”

The company was interested in becoming a WECA Industry Partner because Hubbell Incorporated believes that working with contractor associations like WECA will help build their relationships with contractors and the electricians that work for them.
