During 30 years as president of The Heil Co. in the middle of the 20th Century, Joe Heil Sr., like his
father before him, believed that the success of a company hinged on the ability of people doing
diverse jobs to work together toward a common goal. Teamwork is an industry buzzword today. Joe
Heil Sr. recognized its importance over 50 years ago.
Today’s Heil Co. is different from the one that Joe Heil, Sr. led. Manufacturing technology is light
years ahead; we function in a global marketplace where information is exchanged in the blink of an
eye; and the products we make are faster, more efficient, and more durable than ever.
But one thing hasn’t changed. It still takes people, working together, focused
on a common goal. For the Heil Co. that goal hasn’t changed much either: to
build a quality product, and then stand behind it as if each customer was the
only one we had.
Heil Environmental Industries, Ltd. employs some 600 people worldwide, in three different
manufacturing facilities, and in dozens of Heil offices around the globe
representing the world’s most sophisticated refuse collection equipment. Many of these people are
lifelong Heil employees, and some represent second and third generation Heil families. In our Fort
Payne, Alabama, facility alone more than 40 employees have been with the company over 25 years.
It signifies a continuity and a commitment to a lifelong mission of excellence.
