Hutchins Manufacturing Company

"When we get home we'll be ideal Americans, for we really do have a glorious country and each of us will die first to keep it that way" This phrase was part of a letter published in the Pasadena Star News that our grandfather and founder Al Hutchins wrote to his Aunt during World War II at the age of 23. Al Hutchins tried to join the military to do his part but was denied because of color blindness despite being a painter at the local Chevrolet dealer. Not deterred, he joine...d Lockheed repairing downed planes in Ireland using his deasel engineering degree from trade school. Unbeknownst to him, his future wife was a machinist making bomb components for Lockeed in Southern California. We celebrate this week, the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War II and all the people in and out of uniform that made this country what it is today.

In Southern California today, 19 World War II era planes flew over the hospitals and cemeteries today to celebrate all 1st responders as well as commemorate those who have given so much for our freedom.

Hutchins Mfg and the automotive industry lost a dear friend last week to Covid-19 complications, Daniel Takesian. Dan and his company Don Kennett, Inc was a pillar in our community, spending more than 50 years supplying New England's autobody repair industry. He will forever be missed. https://obituaries.eagletribune.com//daniel-takesian-10790

We lost our leader, Alme Hutchins in January and an amazing woman-owned small business in Gloucester,MA donated an American flag in his memory. Support small businesses, they are what make America great!
