A presentation by Paul Krug, President of the Iron Man Museum in Sunnyvale. Founded in San Francisco in 1856, the Joshua Hendy Iron Works produced mining equipment used all over the world, from Alaska to Africa. The Iron Works also produced a wide variety of heavy machinery and metal castings. Following the destruction of Hendy’s San Francisco shops in the earthquake and fire of 1906, the company acquired property in Sunnyvale and rebuilt. The “Iron Men of Hendy” assumed critical roles in the war efforts of both World War I and World War II. Westinghouse purchased the Iron Works in 1947 and continued to build a wide variety of heavy industrial and defense products, becoming the corporation’s Marine Division in 1965. The plant was sold by Westinghouse in 1996 and is now operated as Northrup Grumman Marine Systems.
