We make concrete plants simple.
Easy for us to say, right? The decision to build, upgrade or expand is a big one. We’re here to make the rest of the process easy.
And why not Hilts?
Because we specialize in products and services for the entire concrete industry. Why limit ourselves?
W.P. Hilts & Co. was founded in 1970 by Bill Hilts. His son, Tom, joined soon afterward, bringing a single underlying philosophy: “Why not?” No other company back then came close to the turn-key design-build-service model. It’s exactly what W.P. Hilts & Co. still does today.
Five thousand pieces of steel went into this bulk mortar mix plant in California. "If we can do this plant," asserts Tom Hilts, "we can do anything."
The finished California plant.
That’s our reputation on the line. It’s one of the many ways you can trust W.P. Hilts from start to finish. You can find our well-regarded work nationwide — from California to St. Croix — built by a dedicated Hilts crew.
We think looks count, too. We take care to make sure a concrete plant installation looks good years after we’re done. Rust ain’t pretty in our book. Your customers will see a good paint job, which will reflect well on you.
Fifty years ago, W.P. Hilts & Co. served as a specialized manufacturer’s rep for companies selling concrete plants and parts. Hilts’ second “Why Not?” came when the founders realized there was a need for plant customization not readily available from manufacturers at a fair and equitable price.
In the 1980s, the Hilts began working closely with customers to engineer, design and build concrete plants. They also began engineering the retrofits of older plants in need of upgrading. Tom is now owner and president of the company. He expanded the product line to encompass a wide range of parts.
With custom designs to meet specific needs, customers no longer need accept a costly “cookie cutter” plant that does not exactly meet their needs. W.P. Hilts & Co. eliminates the industry acceptance of “take it or leave it.” Thus the company motto: Custom Designs at Standard Prices.
At W.P. Hilts & Co., the question has always been: Why not? It’s where company philosophy and company history intersect, to be sure. Why not incorporate American parts to increase reliability and control costs? Why not customize your plant from a list of options when making the purchase?
At W.P. Hilts, we think we can do anything for your concrete plant.
