Hobbs Bonded Fibers is a leader in its industry and is always
striving to be an innovator in its products and services.
Over the last few years under the leadership of Danny
Natividad, the R&D department at
Hobbs
has managed to partner with important companies in different
areas and even the military.
Recently, some of the more well-known partnerships
include ones with 3M, Owens Corning, and the “Big Three” car
companies.
The automotive industry has especially been a major area of
growth for the company, and through this they have worked on
developing products for the “Big Three” that include: GM, Toyota, and Ford. One of
the products that has come out of this is Natural and Synthetic
Fibers for use in Acoustic Thermal Insulation for cars.
Hobbs
sees this market as one of its most important areas now and in
the future. The
company will continue to work with the suppliers to adapt and create
products for use in future car designs.
In addition to automotive,
Hobbs
has focused on working on military projects.
Some of the more publicized products that have come out
of the R&D department include a sub-component to the X-35
and F-22 joint strike fighters and a protective thermal
insulation for the trans-habitat Mars Project.
This insulation that
Hobbs
is providing for the trans-habitat is a crucial element for the
future success of NASA’s Mars project.
The fact that
Hobbs
is always looking for new partners or projects is one reason
that it has done so well. The
company is always willing to work on developing new ideas and
attempting something that competitors may not even be willing to
try. This is one
thing that sets
Hobbs
apart from other companies in its industry and will contribute
to its future success as a manufacturer of natural and synthetic
fiber products.
