The John S. Barnes Corporation has a long and complicated history that reaches back into the 19th century. In 1872, John Barnes formed a partnership with his two brothers (W. F. & B. Frank) in Rockford, Illinois, U.S.A., to help manage the manufacture of the woodworking tool he invented. This eventually led to the incorporation of the W. F. and John Barnes Company in 1884.

In 1929, a subsidiary company was formed: the John S. Barnes Corporation, which is the true ancestor of the renowned company whose products can be found on this website. The new company specialised in hydraulic equipment for industrial use, including the automotive and military sectors. The John S. Barnes Corp. became one of the key players in the hydraulic equipment market. Later, they shifted their production focus to mobile hydraulic pumps.
J.S. Barnes was purchased by Swedish-based Haldex in 1987. Ten years later, it was renamed Haldex Barnes Hydraulics. Today, Concentric AB manufactures the high-quality hydraulics parts and components that were once produced under the banner of J.S. Barnes.
This company remains a respected brand in the mobile equipment market. J.S. Barnes hydraulic pumps remain in high demand for use in construction equipment and material handling applications. Some of these hydraulic gear pumps and related products are available through White House Products Ltd.
