Message from the President & CEO:
In business, as in life, we celebrate milestones in honor of history and tradition. Since August 18, 1943, HEC has been a testament to resilience, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to our community. Reaching the 80-year mark in business is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to our community. In an environment where only 25% of new businesses reach their 15th Anniversary; HEC’s celebration of 80 exceptional years stands as a symbol of deep pride and perseverance.
