Company Overview and Legacy
Hilfiker boasts over a century of profound experience and continuous innovation within the earth retention industry, having successfully supplied thousands of projects across the globe. The company's rich history is rooted in a culture of hard work and pioneering design, notably marked by Harold Otto's 1972 patent for the Concrib Wall. This spirit of advancement was further solidified by William K. Hilfiker's 1976 patent for the Welded Wire Wall, a foundational system that predates and influenced modern Mechanical Stabilized Earth (MSE) Retaining Wall Systems. This enduring commitment to quality and engineering excellence was formally recognized when Hilfiker was honored as the Eureka Chamber of Commerce 2016 Business of the Year.
