Company Profile
Since 1875, Hyde has been an industry leader in the hand tool business. Today, it has become a favorite brand for DIY weekend warriors and professional contractors. The brand is most known for high-quality surface preparation and repair tools that provide a better finish when painting or staining. It is proud to offer more than 1,500 specialized tools for industrial users, trade professionals, and homeowners.
Hyde is part of the Hyde Group, which serves industrial, construction, and consumer markets worldwide. Also, it manufactures more than 50 million units of the product a year under three respected brands. Every year the brand ships around 20 million tools and accessories to 15 countries around the world.
Manufacturing
Hyde is renowned for manufacturing the highest quality of tools. When modern drywall was introduced in 1936, the company was called on to design what became the drywall joint knife that is still in use today. Not only that, for decades before and after that call, Hyde only supplied the tools of choice for drywall pros, professional painters, wallpaper hangers, and other tradesmen.
How the Company Started
Founded initially as a cutlery manufacturer by Mr. Isaac P. Hyde in 1875, Hyde Manufacturing Company first used its exceptional blade-making skills to make blades and rugged knives for pros working in the textile, tire, and other industries. Over time, the brand was called on to adapt its high-quality tools to new industries and applications – from masonry and drywall to wallpaper, surface preparation, and painting. It has now become the numero uno choice for painters, drywall pros, and remodelers.
A Rich History
The company is still family-owned and located in Southbridge. It has a specific division that continues to manufacture the high-quality knives and blades that the brand was known for in the 19th century. But today, the Hyde brand also stands for innovation, with product lines that include its RVT® airless spray system, QuickReach® telescoping spray poles, and many other patented tools for pros. As for quality, the company’s classic Black & Silver “guaranteed forever” scrapers, multitools, putty knives, and joint knives continue to be the industry standard-bearers.
Strong Commitment to R&D
With a strong dedication to R&D, the brand outdoes its competitors in producing advanced products to improve quality and reduce costs. The result is high-quality products that stand the test of time. Some of the brand's top-selling products include the window zipper deglazing tool, painter’s tools, contour scraper, and knives.
