History of Hi-Line Industries

Designers and Manufacturers of

Hi-Line Industries was originally founded in 1954 as Hi-Line Steel Products, in what was then the small Central Texas town of Brenham. And, today, like the city of Brenham itself, Hi-Line has expanded in size and matured in its sophistication.

In its early years the company offered general metal fabrication services. However, business soon flourished and the company’s manufacturing skills matured beyond simple shearing, forming and welding services. As a result, in 1959, the company was renamed Hi-Line Industries to better reflect its then broadening product and fabrication skills.

During the 1960s, Hi-Line Industries continued to mature and focus its core business activities toward more complex products, serving the needs of not just the local area’s expanding processing industries, but also regional industrial manufacturing customers located in nearby Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Over the next few decades Hi-line developed a state-wide reputation for designing and manufacturing a vast range of both generic and custom manufactured bulk storage and handling equipment -- including conveyors, elevators, feeders and other automated machinery for processing materials, sized from fine talc to full-length timber logs, as well as high precision machines for handling cosmetically sensitive materials.

Today, sixty years later, our company, now named Hi-Line Industries, has become know nationally to represent the best of what the custom fabrication industry has to offer:

· Today we offer full turn-key design and manufacturing support utilizing cutting edge 3D Cad Cam engineering, design and modeling tools to fabricate machines with integrated electro-mechanical and programmable control systems, for both bulk and precision applications;

· We process our work on highly accurate and efficient CNC processing machinery, and we employ sophisticated computer based management and process control tools.

· Even more importantly, however, we manage a team of well trained and experienced manufacturing specialists and business partners who understand the needs, efficiencies and demands of today’s global marketplace.

Tomorrow, as we have in the past, our company will remain focused on improving our skills and capabilities, year after year, so we can continue to provide our customers with unmatched service and competitively priced manufacturing support.
