Hub Security and Investigative Group provides trusted security in Hudson, MA, pairing licensed guards with genuine local knowledge of the community.
The Assabet River runs through the heart of Hudson, once powering the shoe mills that made the town a manufacturing hub with as many as 17 factories at its peak. That industrial legacy gave way to a modern one: Intel purchased a semiconductor fabrication plant here in 1998, and while the main production line closed in 2014, Intel’s Hudson campus still runs an active microprocessor research and development facility.

How Hub Saves Hudson Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Hudson, where the Intel research campus and the town’s old mill buildings along the Assabet River sit close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle commercial and industrial coverage with residential checks nearby under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Hudson’s own history traces the arc of American industry: the Assabet River once powered the shoe mills that made the town a manufacturing hub with as many as 17 factories at its peak. That industrial legacy gave way to a modern one — Intel purchased a semiconductor fabrication plant here in 1998, and while the main production line closed in 2014, Intel’s Hudson campus still runs an active microprocessor research and development facility. Hub’s licensed guards support both Hudson’s tech campuses and its historic mill neighborhoods.
