The Hozack History

Started as the F.L. Guenther Company in 1949, The Hozack Company has a long history as one of the premier electrical manufacturer’s agents in the NorthwestJack Hozack joined Guenther in 1965 and later purchased the Company in 1970; it was then that the name changed to The Jack Hozack Company. Mr. Hozack continued to successfully build the business through the late 1980’s until his retirement and subsequent sale of the Company to Scott Taylor. Under Scott’s leadership, the Hozack Company continued to flourish and experienced substantial growth. It was in 2014 when Mr. Taylor retired and longtime employees Ken Spridgeon and Carol Louderback assumed ownership of The Hozack Company. 

In 2024, and after ten years of significant growth, Ken and Carol handed over the reins to a new ownership team; Evan Farris, and Tug Cox.  With more than 40-years of collective industry experience, Evan and Tug remain committed to the core values of the company that have positioned Hozack to become one of the most successful, well-respected agencies in the Northwest. 

In celebrating our 75th year in business, we remain committed to bring unparalleled value to both our Manufacturer and Distributor partners, while growing our mutual market share together in all segments of the business. We will always uphold our commitment to conduct our business in a fair, honest, and professional manner.
