About Us
The Hibbs Story
In 1947, Hibbs ElectroMechanical, Inc. was created to serve Kentucky’s booming coal industry as a motor repair facility. At that time, we weren’t aware of the terms “vertical integration,” “continuous improvement,” or “total customer satisfaction”—even though we were practicing these very concepts. We were simply making sure our customers were satisfied. As such, when regulations began to erode Kentucky’s coal sales, Hibbs ElectroMechanical, Inc. services were already diversified to serve multiple industries around the nation.
In 1997, Hibbs ElectroMechanical, Inc. expanded the operation and moved into a new 40,000-square-foot facility. Since then, we have acquired numerous pieces of state-of-the-art equipment for the service and repair of electromechanical machinery.

Brandon Strader
Project Manager
My name is Brandon Strader. I’m the Project Manager at Hibbs. I first started my career with Hibbs in 2010 as an Engineering Technician.

Since that time, I’ve helped provide various solutions to a wide range of customer needs. My wife and I have four kids and two grandkids who teach us the greater meaning of life and importance of family. Sometimes it is a hard lesson learned, but together, we work to guide all of our futures.
