2008, John DeBruin(JDB)has bought the rights to the Hutch name & is making frames & parts again with the Hutch name. Pro racers, Trickstar and XL-24s with updated features. Pedals, pads & more.
Another great company, with a real following.
Trick Star, Pro Star, Pro Raider, Wind Styler, Hollywood, Judge, XL-24, so many bikes.
I should also mention here Hutch Heaven, a site all about Hutch:

Kappa BMX, who USED to make modern versions of Hutch, & other bikes.
In
1980-81 the Hutch BMX frames had no serial# & the Hutch logo was
drilled out of the brake bridge. Second version(82-83) still had no
serial# & the Hutch logo was stamped into the brake bridge in western
style font. The last version is similar to the second one but with
serial# on the inside left rear dropouts these serial# are 7digits & are
all numerical...the first batch of frames starts w/123 the second one starts w/014 all from the years 83-84...the last batch before going overseas for production was serial# that begin w/08xxxxx...
The Japanese version had serial# as well but w/a (baseball logo at the end of the numbers)& the forks are made by Tange...
The
Taiwan version had serial# on the bottom bracket w/4 "stamped out"
