History

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 manufacturing facilities located in Fort Payne, Alabama; Greenville, South Carolina; and Hillend, Scotland.

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.
