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.

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.
