After C.W., Carl Jr. took over operations and handled the day to day machining production while many Marshalltown community members earned wages running drill presses, fabricating sheet metal, welding assemblies, and operating Bardon and Oliver Turret Lathes.  Throughout World War II, Hollingsworth Mfg. was a major machining supplier to the U.S. Defense Agency and to this day is a certified supplier to GSA and the United States Government.

In the late 70's, Carl sold the business to Bill Wilson, an engineer from Marshalltown Trowel.  Bill took manufacturing, specifically CNC Machining, to a high tech level by acquiring CNC lathes and Mills.  From more than 7 Pratt & Whitney CNC lathes and Bridgeport CNC Mills, Hollingsworth began machining close dimensional products for many local customers like Fisher Controls and Cooper Manufacturing.  Throughout the 80's and early 90's Hollingsworth developed a strong reputation of quality machined parts and the ability to produce customer's products with efficiency.  In the late 90's, our current owner, Todd Wilson, bought the business from his dad.

Todd has continued operations with an absolute focus on quality while trying to keep prices which help promote cost reduction to our customers bottom line.  Over the last 10 years, Hollingsworth has added additional and efficient CNC machining equipment while maintaining the quality and always needed manual machining equipment to supplement production.  Over the last century Hollingsworth has developed a diverse customer base that spreads all across the United States and even throughout the world.
