Hamilton Sundstrand – From Small Manufacturer to Global Corporation

Hamilton Standard, formed in 1929 via the consolidation of Hamilton Aero Manufacturing and Standard Steel Propeller into Hamilton Standard Propeller Corporation, was a supplier of aircraft propellers. They were the largest supplier of aircraft propellers in the world. Other companies in this corporation included the likes of Boeing, Sikorsky, and Pratt & Whitney. Three years prior, in 1926, Sundstrand Corporation was founded via a merger of the Rockford Tool Company and Rockford Milling Machine Company.

This company’s primary business was in manufacturing aerospace and industrial products, some of which included emergency power and secondary power systems, electric power generating systems, constant speed drives, and gas turbine engines.On June 10, 1999, these two companies would merge to form the Hamilton Sundstrand we know today.
