Household Utilities Inc. Is Founded

Household Utilities Inc (now HUI Manufacturing, Inc) was founded in 1933 in a small town in Kiel, Wisconsin. We originally sold household appliances and electrical fixtures from a small shop in downtown Kiel.

A Medical Industry Partner Built for Quality and Speed

Founded in 1933, HUI is an ISO certified contract manufacturer with expertise in sheet metal fabrication, design engineering, powder coating and assembly. HUI specializes in industrial and medical product fabrication and serves customers around the globe.

For the industrial industry, we design and manufacture custom cabinets, NEMA-rated enclosures, chassis and complex weldments. For the medical industry, we design and manufacture custom medical carts, systems, and chassis for medical device OEMs.

In 1998, HUI was introduced to the principles of LEAN Manufacturing by our prior CEO Kurt Bell. Within a year, we implemented the principles of LEAN into our office and production floor - helping us acquire speed and agility. By building on the efficiencies gained through LEAN, leveraging a team-based environment and responding to customer requests, HUI attained ISO 9001 Certification in 2011, and ISO 13485 certification in 2014.

Through our dedication to continuous improvement, we are able to preserve our customers’ working capital by maintaining short lead times of ten working days and successfully manufacturing small quantity runs with an average of 25 parts per order. We have also been able to maintain high quality standards with overall defect rates less than 1,000 PPM. For our medical customers the defect rate is almost zero. 

Overall, HUI is dedicated to creating partnerships that lasthelping our customers design the solutions their customers need and launch quality products on time and within budget.
