COOLIDGE, Ga. — Hurst Boiler is celebrating 50 years of growth and success in 2017, the company reports.
“In 1967, my parents, Gene and Edna Hurst, founded Hurst Boiler and Welding Co. Inc. upon the core values of integrity, achievement, investment and balance,” says Tommy Hurst, president of Hurst Boiler and Welding Co. Inc. “Fifty years later, their founding principles have ensured steady growth and success that has seen us through both good times and economic downturns to become the strong, still-family-owned corporation that we are today.
“We remain committed to helping our customers, employees, vendors and associates accomplish their goals, and we’d like to thank everyone for their dedicated support during the past 50 years. We promise to continue providing value to our partners every day and working with integrity in everything we do.”
Hurst Boiler began in 1967 as a small repair company of industrial boilers and equipment, the company says. Today, it has more than 250 employees and 130 privately owned representative organizations worldwide. Hurst says its main manufacturing facility has grown to 300,000 square feet, which is housed on an 18-acre campus, making it one of the largest employers in Thomas County.
Moving into its next 50 years, Hurst Boiler has plans for strategic expansion into new markets, as well as continued product innovation that delivers the highest quality at competitive prices.
“After 50 years, our core values of integrity, achievement, investment and balance continue to be the standards by which we measure our success,” says Tommy Hurst. “By remaining true to the founding values and personal integrity of Gene Hurst, we have been able to deliver the highest-quality people, products and processes to our customers and position ourselves for continued growth.”
