Holyoke was an American automobile company started in
Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1899. The first car had a two-cylinder, 7 hp motor. The cars were designed by Charles Robert Greuter, born Philadelphia, PA, March 26, 1861, and educated St. Gallen and Winterthur, Switzerland. In 1900 the ''Springfield Republican'' reported: "The president of the Holyoke motor works is Charles R. Greuter, who started the business of making gasoline carriages and wagons about a year ago in the old Standard machine company building, and at present employs about 40 men." In 1903 the company was acquired by the
Matheson Motor Car company. Greuter then served as a director of that company.
