Celebrating 120 Years of Innovation: A Message from The Hilliard Corporation

As we celebrate our 120th anniversary in 2025, we at The Hilliard Corporation are filled with pride and gratitude. Since our founding in 1905, we have grown from a single-product business into a global leader in motion control and industrial filtration technology.

Our journey began with the production of friction disconnect clutches, and over the decades, we have continually evolved to meet the changing needs of our customers. From developing advanced oil reclaiming machines in the 1920s to offering a broad range of products today—including motion control clutches, drivetrain products, industrial brakes, and oil filtration systems—we have always been driven by innovation and excellence.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing our legacy of innovation and customer service. Our ability to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing market is a testament to our resilience and forward-thinking approach.

Here’s to 120 years of The Hilliard Corporation—may the next century be just as groundbreaking and successful!

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Sincerely,

The Hilliard Corporation Team
