Heil has an extensive US dealer network and also sells & supports its products in many countries around the world.[2]
History
[edit]The company, originally named the Heil Rail Joint Welding Co., was founded in 1901 by Julius P. Heil in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The early company specialized in using the then-new technology of electrical welding to manufacture street car rails, tanks, and truck bodies.[3]
Heil is currently based in Chattanooga, Tennessee,[4] with its flagship manufacturing facility located in Fort Payne, Alabama.
The original Heil manufacturing complex at 3031 W. Montana St. in Milwaukee has been renovated and is primarily used as the Corporate Campus of Aurora Health Care, Inc.
