NO, Hobart Corp makes Hobart brand mixers and KitchenAid makes the KitchenAid brand. Both companies have trademarked versions of countertop and commercial mixers.

Hobart stopped making the KitchenAid mixer in 1986 when the brand was sold to the Whirlpool Corporation. The KitchenAid mixer line had originally been introduced in 1919, and Hobart was the original manufacturer until the transition to Whirlpool. Since then, KitchenAid mixers have continued to be produced by Whirlpool under the KitchenAid brand.
Hobart stopped producing the KitchenAid K45SS mixer in 1994. The K45SS was part of the original KitchenAid stand mixer line introduced in 1919, but production shifted as newer models were developed. After its discontinuation, KitchenAid continued to evolve its product line with various other stand mixer models.
The production of the K45SS KitchenAid mixers, originally made by Hobart, ceased in 1994 when Whirlpool Corporation acquired the KitchenAid brand. After this acquisition, the manufacturing was moved to different locations, and newer models were introduced. The K45SS model itself has become a classic, often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
KitchenAid was created in 1919.
