Hubbell is a large American electrical and utility products manufacturer that designs and makes a wide range of electrical and infrastructure products for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility applications. Founded in 1888 by Harvey Hubbell who invented the pull chain light switch, Hubbell today is a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, with over 18,000 employees. Hubbell's products include wiring devices like switches and outlets under brands like Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems, lighting fixtures and controls including commercial and industrial lighting, electrical enclosures and connectors, and utility products such as insulators, connectors, and tools used by electric utilities to build and maintain power grids. Hubbell also makes products for harsh and hazardous locations, data center infrastructure, and EV charging. Its brands include Burndy for connectors, Killark for harsh location fittings, and Chalmit for lighting. Hubbell products are sold through electrical distributors like Graybar and WESCO, and some commercial lighting through Home Depot and Lowes. Unlike Leviton which focuses heavily on residential devices, Hubbell has a strong focus on industrial and utility markets, making products that keep factories and power lines running, and it is known for heavy-duty commercial grade quality.
