Hollingsworth Legacy dates back to 1918

Hollingsworth Mfg. came into existence in 1918 when C.W. Hollingsworth started machining and manufacturing operations. His ingenious ideas and products ranged from building an actual car in the 20’s to designing a popular fishing lure we still get requests for today.

After C.W., Carl Jr. took over daily operations 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 manufacturing supplier to the U.S. Defense Agency and to this day is a certified supplier to GSA and the United States Government.
