Hobbs Medical is a leading manufacturer and supplier of precision instruments for endoscopy. Founded in 1982 in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts by Eammon Hobbs, the company swiftly expanded and moved to our current manufacturing facility and headquarters in Stafford Springs, Connecticut in August 1984. The founder exited in 1985, partnering with and transferring ownership to Alberto Ortega. Since then, the company has been privately and proudly Hispanic owned by the Pompeo and Ortega families. Hobbs specializes in the design and manufacture of custom diagnostic and therapeutic accessories for the gastrointestinal and pulmonary endoscopy markets. Holding ISO 13485, MDSAP, and FDA-registered, Hobbs Medical has cultivated a reputation as the go-to source to develop precision instruments, contract manufacturing and prototyping and that comply with and target specific requirements for hospitals, medical universities, ambulatory centers, and veterinary facilities. The company is the most responsive provider in the market, offering the fastest turnaround for quality, reliable standard accessories and rapid design and development of custom medical products. Long considered a sourcing partner for some of the largest and best-known companies in the healthcare and medical industries, Hobbs provides custom products that drive cost savings, and stringent adherence to quality. Hobbs Medical is one of the few Hispanic owned, and Hispanic woman owned and managed small businesses in the medical equipment manufacturing industry in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. The company’s commitment to its community and employees is evident in the fact that they still retain their first employee, and they hire and promote from within, keeping attrition low and loyalty high. Alberto Ortega’s four children drive the company’s Board of Directors. Daughter Jennifer Ortega Plouffe presides over the company and leads Hobbs through constant innovation and optimization of its products and processes.
