Billy W. Howard Sr. left General Electric, where he had been national sales manager for distribution transformers, and founded Howard Industries in Laurel, Mississippi in 1968.
Distribution transformers built in Laurel are the company's core business, and Howard is one of the largest US producers.
In 2005 Howard introduced medium power substation transformers, built at a 200,000 square foot plant in Ellisville, Mississippi, along with single-phase voltage regulators and pad-mounted switchgear.
Founder Billy Howard Sr. died in January 2026.
