OC White Company

O.C. White is the world leader in high-quality inspection tools, lighting, and broadcast equipment for a variety of workplaces and has been in business since 1883. We have always been and will continue to stay a US-based manufacturing company.

Our advantage has always been the creation of cutting-edge products, delivering superior quality, fast and reliable pre-and post-sales support, and maintaining selective distribution partners.

Company Overview: Founded in 1883, Otis C. White crafted award-winning patents for a lathe tool rest, a chair for photographers, and adjustable extension movement in ball-and-socket joints. The O.C. White company now has offerings around the world and serves many different industries. One thing they all have in common is an appreciation for quality and products that aid in the creation of other goods and services.

The company originally headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts substantially grew when the son of Otis White Sr., Otis White Jr. started assisting in the development of his father’s inventions. Together they sold the now famous “Adjustable Holders for Incandescent Lamps” to anyone in need of a sturdy work light eventually leading to the articulated arm now used in many O.C. White product families.

The O.C. White company is now located in Thorndike, Massachusetts operating a 92,000 sq. ft. building and humbly commands respect within the electronics, metalworking, industrial, broadcast, aerospace, metrology, medical device, OEM, and healthcare industries. Considered the world’s oldest industrial lighting manufacturer, O.C. White has earned an unparalleled reputation for the quality of its superior products and fixtures. It is not unusual to find the company’s early fixtures in antique shops or on eBay, which may have been originally sold for $10, they now often go for thousands of dollars.
