Hemco Industries was acquired by BGRS Inc. in 2018. Hemco’s production of high-quality gangways, loading ramps, loading racks, fall protection, and loading systems, all started in 1956. Hemco began with only an idea and a design for a product that would get people to the tops of vehicles safer and easier. Hemco first used different fabricators with facilities to make the prototype, and eventually the finished product.
Very early on, with the volume of sales growth, operating in this manner became difficult, and so Hemco began its own facilities by erecting a small 40 ft. by 60 steel building. Now, over 60 years later and operating as Hemco; A Division of BGRS Inc., the business has expanded substantially moving into a much more flexible facility which can accommodate standard products – gangways, loading ramps, loading racks, access ramps, loading systems, fall protection and more – and take on even larger custom projects for special loading situations.
Today, Hemco is still dedicated to making gangways and loading system products for safer access and fall protection. Hemco’s devotion to serving customers through high-quality products and timely service remains the exact same as it did decades ago. The acquisition with BGRS adds increased custom design and manufacturing capabilities as well as upgraded facilities and equipment, which allow Hemco to enhance the services and products provided to you, our customers.
