About Hyde Group

Doing Business with Integrity since 1875

With manufacturing and distribution plants in the U.S. and Canada and proficiency in worldwide supply chain management, Hyde Group delivers innovative products to construction and industrial markets around the globe. Currently we manufacture nearly 10,000 unique products and flow 40 million units of product a year through retail and industrial distribution.

Established in Southbridge, Massachusetts as the Hyde Manufacturing Company in 1875, Hyde Group is not only a global supplier; we’re also a hometown champion. Our values reflect four generations of family ownership, a commitment to quality manufacturing and customer service, and a great pride in the respected brands we bring to market. Our Southbridge plant is ISO9001-2015 certified, and we are proactive in the use of environmentally sound practices that range from solar power and water reclamation to waste heat recovery from our manufacturing operations.

  • In 1875, the Kentucky Derby made its debut. Billy the Kid was first arrested. And I.P. Hyde began Hyde Manufacturing Co. in Southbridge, MA. Today, Hyde Group companies manufacture 50 million units of product a year.

  • Among Isaac Hyde’s 19th century peers were men named Goodrich, Firestone and Goodyear. Today, the companies that bear their names use the products that bear his. That’s staying power!

  • Nearly a century ago, Hyde created the world’s first drywall taping knife with U.S. Gypsym. Today, Hyde makes 91 styles of joint knives, trowels and taping knives for drywall pros.

  • In 1890, two Hyde employees opened a rival company in Canada. Today, they’re back in the fold. A. Richard Tools, Canada’s #1 tool brand for coating prep and application, is a Hyde Group company.

  • Our industrial blades are made in America and used around the world to slab, slice, dice, slit, perforate, tenderize, macerate, pelletize and more.
