That would be Hubbell, and I doubt they make

Hubbell is a conglomerate and Hubbell-Bryant handles the more mundane
fixtures (yes, ordinary duplex receptacles). But the connectors on
all of my twist-lock tools is indeed labeled "Hubbell", although I
gather that the twist-lock stuff is now Hubbell-Kellems.
"Leviton" is another brand to search for.
It pays to buy quality in receptacles if they're going to see heavy
use--much of the residential stuff is made of very brittle plastic
and breaking out the area near the grounding prong is quite common on
the cheap stuff.
