About Us The forerunner of today's Hardware Products was founded in 1866 and serviced the Textile Industry with Pulleys, Pillow Blocks, Shaft Supports, Motor Mounts and Springs. Hence our name. Our Pulleys and Pillow Blocks are in the Smithsonian at the Industrial Revolution Exhibit. Since then the research, development and manufacture of highest quality springs and spring products has been our only goal. We are small run specialists and to properly serve these markets we have always been a Rapid Response company. We know that springs are an often overlooked commodity, sometimes an afterthought - until the need becomes obvious. Hardware Products, through it's Rapid Response system, addresses this need.
