Our 50th Year... New Growth... New Employees... Customer Survey Results...

A Happy and Most Prosperous New Year to everyone!  For the 2020 year, we're excited to announce that Hegwood Electric is celebrating their 50th year of business!  For this year, we have some great plans, which we will announce throughout the year.

2019 was a truly incredible and blessed year for us.  We earned more new customers and we have expanded additional services and products to a number of existing customers.  Thank you all for this opportunity.

In addition to the customer growth, we have hired the quality staff required to support our customers.  Welcome aboard Kendall and Erick!

Lastly, our yearly Customer Satisfaction Survey is now complete and we have a winner of the drawing for that VERY EXCLUSIVE Hegwood Electric 50th Anniversary Ball Cap.

Gene Hegwood - Founder of Hegwood Electric, Est. 1970
Our 50th Year...

In 1970, when Gene and Helen started Hegwood Electric out of their garage in Chamblee, GA, I'm sure there were thoughts about the future of the company, but raising a family, paying bills, and earning income was the priority.  The 1970's was a tough decade with a major recession and economic malaise across the country. However, Gene and Helen kept plugging on and by offering a quality product and a great service, the company grew.  Soon, they moved from the garage to an office/warehouse facility in Doraville, GA. From that small facility (where Doraville MARTA now sits), Gene and Helen then built their own shop and expanded the services, products, and customer base.

In 1990, Kirk Hegwood began working full time at Hegwood Electric. With his passion for automation and controls, Kirk added system integration to their electrical and mechanical services.  As the company continued to grow and was blessed with great customers and staff, Hegwood Electric added control panel fabrication, electrical engineering, and software engineering to the business.

Operating from an 8,000 sq/ft. conditioned facility, Hegwood Electric provides Industrial Automation and Control products to not only local customers, but a growing list of customers on a global scale.  Our multi-national OEM customers use our products and services around the world.  From Canada to Argentina, California to Russia, Thailand to Ghana, our products are in use everyday, and can be found in many different industries.

I wonder what the NEXT 50 Years will bring for Hegwood Electric?!

Quotes of the month...

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. - Benjamin Franklin

There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing what it was bought to do.
- Attributed to John Ruskin
