In 2019, we had two important acquisitions in the West. First, Dow Diversified Inc. joined as an industry expert in the design and installation of laboratory casework and equipment – allowing us to expand our laboratory solutions in California and Arizona. Meanwhile, our acquisition of Paton Group enabled us to focus on education technology in design, prototyping, advanced manufacturing, and fabrication across CA, NV, and HI institutions. After multiple acquisitions and a corporate restructure, Haldeman-Homme became H2I Group.
With over 100 years of expertise in the construction industry, we’ve built a reputation as the nation’s leading specialty contractor for helping to design, build, and maintain exceptional spaces with your goal top of mind. So, whether you’re building an indoor basketball court, adding new lab furniture and fume hoods, or looking for the best products to optimize your space, you can count on our expertise, strategic partnerships, and quality products to deliver winning results.
In 1966, we built a 14,000-square-foot facility on two acres in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to serve our growing sales and service staff with additional warehouse stocking space. 40+ years later, our facility is still standing strong today with over 50+ employees at our corporate headquarters and a warehouse for storing products and materials — allowing us to cut down on lead times and avoid logistical issues so projects can run smoothly.
After 30+ years in business, Duke Haldeman retired, and the manufacturing part of the business, Haldeman-Homme Manufacturing Company, was sold to Palmer Hamilton of Hamilton Manufacturing Company in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. To this day, Palmer Hamilton Company remains our trusted partner for supplying high-quality cafeteria and bench tables for schools, libraries, medical facilities, and other spaces across the hospitality industry.
After further expanding our capabilities and acquiring Performance Installation in 2011, we also acquired Iowa Direct Equipment and Academic Specialties in 2012 to provide more specialized athletic equipment service and support throughout the Midwest and Texas. This acquisition allowed us to offer and service everything from bleachers and auditorium seating to athletic flooring, athletic equipment, scoreboards, and lockers.
In 1977, our profit-sharing plan was converted to an employee stock ownership plan. To this day, we believe one of our greatest assets is our people's strength. We offer an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with comprehensive benefits and a collaborative work environment that promotes professional development. So, when you build a career with us, you’re not just another employee – you’re an invested employee-owner.
In 2020, we acquired NexLab Design, a full-service laboratory casework and equipment dealer founded by Chris O’Neal. This acquisition allowed NexLab Design customers to benefit from nationwide support for their solution-based products and services and us to gain an experienced team of laboratory specialists with a deep passion and understanding of the educational, healthcare, research, and institutional marketplace.
In 2021, RPE Laser was acquired so H2I Group could offer unique printing solutions, precision engraving, and highly innovative UV LED technology. We also acquired Knight Athletics, Inc., based in Pittsburgh, which allowed us to grow deeper relationships and broader construction and installation services for athletics and auditorium facilities across the greater Ohio Valley.
By 2009, we not only expanded our footprint across the Midwest – with office locations in Chicago, Des Moines, and Omaha. But we also sustainably grew our academic capabilities and expanded operations in the south and west, with offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver, and Salt Lake City and distribution across Arkansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming.
