For 75 years, Hendrix has helped improve electric power grid reliability through products designed for overhead distribution systems. Originating in New Hampshire and continuing to be manufactured in Amherst and Milford, Hendrix remains an important part of the region’s manufacturing legacy and Marmon Utility’s commitment to American-made utility solutions.

Community Day will give employees, families, customers, neighbors, students, and local partners a chance to celebrate this milestone, tour the Milford facility, enjoy family-friendly activities, and see the Marmon WASP, a replica of the vehicle that won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1910.

Celebrating 75 Years of Hendrix

The Hendrix brand has played a meaningful role in strengthening electric utility infrastructure for 75 years. Built around innovation in overhead distribution, Hendrix products have helped utilities improve reliability, reduce outage exposure, and support dependable electric service for the communities they serve.

This anniversary is especially significant because Hendrix originated in New Hampshire and continues to be manufactured locally at Marmon Utility’s Amherst and Milford facilities. The Community Day event is a celebration of that legacy: the people, products, and manufacturing expertise that have carried Hendrix forward for generations.

Made in the USA

Marmon Utility produces its portfolio of Hendrix and Kerite branded products in the United States, with manufacturing operations in:

  • Milford, New Hampshire
  • Amherst, New Hampshire
  • Seymour, Connecticut

While this celebration is focused on the 75th anniversary of Hendrix, Marmon Utility is also proud of the long-standing heritage of the Kerite brand, which has been manufactured since 1854.

Together, Hendrix and Kerite reflect Marmon Utility’s commitment to quality, domestic manufacturing, and products that support critical utility infrastructure. The company’s U.S.-based operations are powered by skilled employees who bring experience, precision, and pride to their work every day.

See the Marmon WASP on Display

A highlight of Community Day will be the Marmon WASP, a replica of the vehicle that won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1910.

The Marmon WASP is an iconic piece of American engineering history, and its appearance at Community Day connects two stories of innovation: early automotive achievement and the Hendrix brand’s impact on electric power reliability.

Guests are encouraged to visit the display, take photos, and learn more about the vehicle’s place in racing and manufacturing history.

What to Expect at Community Day

Community Day is designed to be welcoming, informative, and family-friendly. Guests will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn more about Hendrix products and their role in electric grid reliability
  • See educational displays and manufacturing highlights
