Listen to this article

Hy-Tek Material Handling, Inc. celebrated its 50th Anniversary on January 22, 2013. Hy-Tek is the premier single-source provider of material handling solutions for an extensive range of industries including manufacturing, distribution, retail, pharmaceutical, food, electronics and automotive. The 50th Anniversary announcement was made by Hy-Tek CEO Samuel Grooms at the Ohio Statehouse during a gubernatorial ceremony recognizing Hy-Tek for half a century of business success.

“The 100-plus employee-owners of Hy-Tek Material Handling are proud to join the exclusive ranks of businesses that have survived and thrived for 50 years. As we celebrate half a century of success serving the nation’s leading manufacturers and distributors, we find ourselves reflecting on what it takes to flourish over five decades. We attribute our longevity, in part, to our ability to nurture lasting relationships with valuable partners including our customers, suppliers, associates, and community. We look forward to continued growth over the next 50 years,” said Grooms.

Since 1963, Hy-Tek and its best-in-class industry partners—including manufacturers of industrial trucks and equipment; supply chain software; automated storage and retrieval systems; and rack, shelving, and conveyor systems—have been providing customers large and small with turnkey solutions. From customized one-of-a-kind handling and storage systems to pre-assembled buildings and off-the-shelf products—Hy-Tek’s experienced team of engineering, sales, operations, and project management professionals partner with customers to help enhance productivity, streamline processes, and boost profitability. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, employee-owned Hy-Tek Material Handling serves customers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from offices in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia. Repeatedly posting annual sales in excess of $55 million, Hy-Tek’s four divisions—Integrated Systems, Mobile Equipment, Lighting Solutions, and Storage & Handling—deliver cost-effective, efficient solutions for every material handling application.
