Office Equipment by Hobart?

So today I was milling around work and found this. Who knew Hobart ventured into the office supplies world? Since it says "Hobart" and its made in Troy, Ohio I figure it has to be the same company.

Yes, office equipment and other metal products are part of the company. They also at one time owned Troy Sunshade Co., makers of tubular chromed steel furniture such as table, sofas, chairs and patio sets. I have a couple of their chairs (designed by Gilbert Rohde) made in the 30's. Hobart bought the company later, but they were closely connected for many years. I belive the sink cabinet part of KitchenAid DW-sink combos were made in the same plant as the office furnishings.

Hobart even made metal homes.
