2009 marks the 100th year of operations for Humboldt Mfg. Co. This year also marks the beginning of a new era for Humboldt with our moving into a new, larger location in Schiller Park,
Illinois. This facility provides us with increased space for both warehousing and production, as well as an improved layout facilitating increased efficiencies in both shipping and manufacturing.
With our move to these new facilities we have also installed a new computer and phone system. While we have had some implementation problems with this new system, we believe that 2009, as well as the years to come will see us begin to reap the benefits of both of these systems.

Humboldt began operations in 1909 manufacturing asphalt, cement and oil testing apparatus and supplies in a typical 3-flat
building just north of Chicago�s Humboldt Park. The Company grew steadily in its early years, and, at the start of the Second World War began manufacturing a full line of labware, including burners and clamps. In 1958 the Company moved to Norridge, Illinois where it continued to build upon its product range becoming the premier U.S. provider of construction materials testing equipment.
We are excited about our 100th year and look forward to making new improvements to our products, service and organization during the year.
