About Hoosier

“THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT A COMPANY FOUNDED BY A MOM.”
After 15 years with a manufacturer of component parts – a company where she had risen from secretary to vice-president and ended up with 25% of the firm’s stock – Lana Scott-Whaley wasn’t happy with starting just any old company, she wanted it to be the best. Her passion for excellence and her ambition to be the best was infectious, so much so that her husband David Whaley left a secure job with the California Institute of the Arts, took a mortgage out on their home, and launched their dream. With chins high and smiles wide, they turned on the lights at HOOSIER on May 1, 1979 – a 4,000 square foot facility with few a pieces of equipment and a handful of clients.

Thirty years later, the second generation is hard at work keeping Lana and David’s dream alive in a 63,000 square foot complex fully equipped with high-tech in-house fabrication and manufacturing capability. The dream has grown into one of the most respected specialty parts manufacturers in the United States. A successful family owned, family run business is unlike any other. There’s an intrinsic quality about the management style and company dynamics that’s nearly impossible to duplicate. We’ve come a long way since 1979 and we still approach our business the same way that Lana and David did. “Give our customers the best product at a great price, and they’ll likely be back for more.” It’s the Hoosier way.

My firm utilizes Hoosier to for molding services as well as their component supply. The products have been for the most part reliable, though not of the highest quality. However, Hoosier provides extremely competitive pricing so it makes up for average level of quality. We have had no major issues except for lags in turnaround time, this is an area that needs improvement. For the most part they did deliver on what we paid for and made of process more efficient. Overall we were decently satisfied.

Strengths: Reliable product, great customer service

We currently do business with them. We had had them make us a custom jigg to help us with our assembly process. Sometimes our motor heads are a little out of alignment when we receive them from our vendor so our custom jigg helps us verify that the correct spacing has been applied before installation. Great customer service with a very good staff.

Strengths: They are a great place for plastic and metal parts.

Hoosier is a family owned and operated company that is trustworthy and reliable. Our company used their die cut services, and we would not be happier with their product and services. They have many specialty plastics in stock, which facilitated the production process. They make their own dies and forms, so they were able to make custom products that my company needed.
