Company History
Hill Engineering started out as a Tool & Die shop in 1950 with one employee - Maurice Hill. Since then it has expanded to 90 employees in two locations (see below) back to a more focused approach on roll forming and stamping dies. From the very beginning we designed and built standard stamping dies as well as flying dies and systems for the roll forming industry.
In 1981 we moved into the present location of our main plant in Villa Park, Illinois and in 1992 we doubled the size of it to the present 30,000 square feet. Also, in 1989, we opened a tool & die facility in Danville, Kentucky, which is 6,000 square feet in size and was currently expanded to 14,000 square feet in 2004.
From our humble 1950 beginnings we have grown into a leader in tool & die making and special machine building, especially relating to the stamping, roll forming and tubing industries. Throughout our growth we have added pneumatics, hydraulics and electronics expertise to our tool & die making skills.
Hill Engineering's reputation throughout the years has been built on our unwavering belief that the customer deserves a vendor who continues to provide innovative and unique solutions to their problems, as well as standard-setting quality and unprecedented service - it is who we are.
In 1997 Mestek, Inc. purchased 90% of Hill Engineering, Inc. Mestek, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is a diversified manufacturer of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, metal hose and hose products, aluminum extrusions, metal-forming & fabricating machinery and vertically integrated software systems. Hill Engineering is a subsidiary of Formtek, Inc., which consists of the metal-forming & fabricating machinery group of Mestek.
In 2004 Mestek, Inc purchased the last 10% of Hill Engineering stock making it a full subsidiary and combined with Yoder/Dahlstrom/Tishken/Lockformer and B&K to create Formtek Metal Forming.
