Hannay Reels, a privately owned company headquartered in Belgium, was founded in 1933 and operates with approximately 40 employees. The company specializes in machinery manufacturing, producing hose and cable reels for a diverse range of applications including Fire/Rescue, LP Gas, Petroleum & Aviation Fuel Delivery, Audio/Video & Communications, Construction & Utility Operations, Grounds Maintenance, Offshore Operations, Sewer & Waste Operations, and various other industrial contexts requiring hose and cable.
On September 24, 2026, Hannay Reels highlighted its role in supporting Upstate Bug Busters' daily pest control operations, showcasing its reels in the delivery of all-natural tick and mosquito control services throughout New York's Capital Region. Earlier, on May 1, the company published an article on improving facility efficiency, noting that disorganized hoses and cables hinder productivity and can lead to premature wear and frequent repairs from low-cost reel alternatives. Previously, on April 27, the family-owned manufacturer in Albany County was reported to be set for acquisition within the next year. This followed an April 24 announcement where CEO and President Eric Hannay confirmed a binding agreement for Hannay Reels to be sold to Madison Industries, with the sale anticipated early the following year and the company remaining in Westerlo. Earlier in the month, from April 20–25, Hannay Reels exhibited its SBEF hose reel and ECR1600 cable reel, designed for fire and rescue apparatus in confined locations, at FDIC International in Indianapolis, IN.
