Hannay Reels Celebrates 75th Anniversary
This year Hannay Reels is celebrating its diamond jubilee anniversary, marking 75 years in business in Westerlo, N.Y.

Since 1933, the Hannay family has owned and operated the world’s leading manufacturing facility of hose and cable reels. The formula for over seven decades of success has included continual facility expansion, along with constant product developments in order to meet market needs and solve customers’ unique problems, according to Hannay.

From founder Clifford Hannay’s first manual-crank reel, the company has grown steadily on the strength of its reliable products. The Hannay production team generated about 3,600 reels a year from a new manufacturing facility in 1952. Today, over 70,000 reels are shipped worldwide from headquarters that were recently expanded by 44,000 square feet to accommodate larger fabrication, assembly and shipping departments.

Hannay has become the reel leader in countless markets, including fire and rescue vehicles, audio and video, aircraft and boat refueling, offshore unloading of crude oil, lawn care services, fleet operations and food processing.

Hannay reels have always been constructed using the highest quality materials and manufacturing techniques to ensure their performance and reliability, according to the company. Modern production efficiencies, combined with traditional craftsmanship mean every reel can be built to exact specifications.
