It’s Nice to Meet You

Let us introduce ourselves!

Our Start

Andy McLain, founder, and owner of Hocomo Industries, grew up on a rural dairy farm in southern Missouri. Learning the importance of resourcefulness from his family's modest lifestyle, he understood the value of every penny. This mindset guided him throughout his corporate career, enabling him to connect with consumers by offering them products of true significance and value for their business.

Andy and his wife, Bobbie, suddenly left the corporate world and had to start over. They considered various new beginnings, but Andy's desire to return to farming grew stronger. Despite his childhood aversion to farming, Andy now found joy and purpose in the work. Life's irony led him back to his roots as he embraced the very thing he had once wanted to escape. Along with their family, Andy and Bobbie saw the needs of their agricultural community and viewed this new phase as a chance to address these challenges. Together they aimed to provide valuable solutions to their customers while honoring the value of their hard-earned money.

From years of first-hand experiences, learning from their community members, and observing the active needs of the community, Hocomo Industries was created with the vision to help meet the needs of local people, businesses, and farms in a meaningful way.
