Habco Inc, founded in 1970, is a company that designs and builds equipment for testing of components and assemblies for aerospace, power generation, fuel cell and automotive industries. The design staff includes mechanical and electrical engineers for equipment design, and software designers who develop software for automated and data acquisition machine applications. The 15,000 square foot facility, located on 40 Sequin Drive, in Glastonbury, CT, contains a fully equipped sheet metal and welding fabrication area, a paint department, precision machine shop, electronics lab, and several assembly cells where all equipment is built in-house.
 Habco began its business as a vendor to many United Technologies divisions located in Connecticut, including Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Hamilton Sundstrand, and Sikorsky Aircraft. The company gradually expanded its sales focus to include all engine OEMS, airline maintenance shops and MRO's worldwide. The company has further diversified by designing and building test equipment for the fuel cell, electronics and automotive industries along with the design and build of support equipment cranes for Sikorsky and Bell Helicopter.
To better serve our customer's needs for quick response to inquiries and expediting service a dedicated Calibration Department has been developed to meet those requirements. In effort to streamline the process of procuring spare parts we offer on-line ordering which can be accessed through our website.
Today, Habco generates 6M a year in annual sales revenues and since 1999 has grown 50% in the past three years. Implementation of a "lean" manufacturing approach in 2002 resulted in increased shop floor usage, improved product flow, reduction in inventories, and creation of a standard products work cell area.
Habco has been certified to ISO 9001 standards since 1998, and will be certified to the new 9001:2000 standard by fall of 2003.
Habco's success can be attributed to its long-term customers who continue to rely on us for our commitment to their total satisfaction. For them and our future customers we proudly promote our philosophy of "Continuous Commitment to Customer Satisfaction".
In late 2003, Habco joined Fuel Cell Markets Ltd to increase its exposure within the emerging fuel cell industry and to develop strategic relationships within the European sector.
