Hague Equipment Company was originally founded in Evansville Indiana (circa 1955), becoming one of the first distributors for entrepreneur Frank W. “Pat” Murphy, and his revolutionary “Murphy Safety Switch” Swichgage®. After opening branches in Pennsylvania, and Michigan in the 1970’s the business was sold in 1987 to current owner, and company president Gerald L. Peal, forming the Hague Equipment Company of Michigan, Inc.
