Company
History
Hudson was founded in 1963 as a manufacturer
of lock plugs for the door handle manufacturing industry.
The Company's original products included lock plugs
for cabinet handles, camping-trailer handles, and screen-door
handles.
During
the 1970s, Hudson began to diversify its customer base
and to supply locks to OEM customers in several different
industries. These new, diverse industries included manufacturers
of office furniture, bank-deposit bags, gasoline pumps,
and mail boxes.
In
the 1980s, Hudson focused on the development of specialty
custom locks for highly specialized OEMs. Also during
the 1980s and continuing into the 1990s, Hudson began
improving its overall manufacturing capabilities and
efficiency by employing automation in its manufacturing
and assembly processes.
Hudson
Lock was acquired by Key Components, Inc. in 1997. That
same year, Key Components acquired ESP Lock Products
of Leominster, Massachusetts, and consolidated ESP's
RAD Lock Division into Hudson.
In
2004, Hudson Lock and ESP Lock Products was acquired
by Waveland Investments and senior management. This
acquisition solidified senior management's commitment
to Hudson Lock's future.
Hudson
Lock's expertise in design, engineering and manufacturing
coupled with a very strong management team has paved
the way for Hudson to become the industry manufacturing
leader of medium-security cylindrical locks.
Facilities
Hudson Lock's main facility is located
in Hudson, Massachusetts and serves as Hudson's corporate
headquarters, manufacturing facility and warehouse.
In
1992, Hudson opened a 3,500 square foot distribution
center in Grand Rapids, Michigan to provide the highest
level of customer service to its customers in the Midwest
and elsewhere.
