Suspension Brand Hellwig Products Celebrates 80th Anniversary In 2026

Hellwig Products, a manufacturer of towing, hauling and performance suspension products, is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2026. The milestone achievement also comes alongside fourth-generation CEO Melanie Hellwig-White’s first year as SEMA chairperson.

Hellwig will mark its 80th anniversary with updated branding at various events throughout the year and will host an open house to celebrate its original incorporation date in September 1946. Since its founding, Hellwig has manufactured OEM-plus-level sway bars and helper springs for a wide variety of American and foreign vehicles.

“Over the last 80 years, the Hellwig family and staff have been proud to support millions of Americans who trust our products on the vehicles they use every day,” said Hellwig-White. “While many things have changed over the years, we’re excited to continue offering second-to-none, American-made products for those who need the most out of their vehicle’s suspension.”

The brand’s passion for providing customers with upgraded towing capabilities, comfort and safety in their SUVs and trucks has endured for more than four generations of ownership. Today, Hellwig continues to use American steel for all its products at its headquarters in Visalia, California, according to a press release.
