Company Description: History Henkels & McCoy, founded in 1923 by John B. Henkels, Jr., started with tree-trimming, landscaping and building tennis courts, none of which we do today. The Great Depression nearly drove the company to ruin, but a hurricane in New England in 1938 proved to be the turning point in our history. While the storm was still blowing its way through the Northeast, Henkels & McCoy rallied, recruiting teams of linemen to send to the area. Just hours after the winds subsided, Henkels & McCoy crews rolled in to restore utility services. Today, Henkels & McCoy is one of the largest privately held engineering, network development and construction firms serving the communications, information technology and utility industries in the United States. We offer one of the largest networks of qualified individuals available in the industry - through over 80 permanent offices and operation facilities strategically located across the nation. Henkels & McCoy has the necessary personnel, expertise and financial wherewithal to handle a broad range of projects. We consistently rank at the top of the Engineering News-Record list of Specialty Contractors. With an uninterrupted history of family leadership since our inception, our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement is personal as well as professional.
