Alan Hisey founded HY-C COMPANY in 1947 in Saint Louis, Missouri. Our first product was an aluminum chimney cover manufactured in Mr. Hisey’s garage. HY-C is still owned by the family; currently the third and fourth generations are working in the business. Today the facilities have expanded from the garage to an entire city block just north of downtown Saint Louis, plus an auxiliary warehouse in south Saint Louis.
In the late 1990’s HY-C made the decision to diversify into other product lines to help grow the business. In 1998 we began manufacturing a line of tubular log racks. In the spring of 1999, HY-C purchased the stoveboard product line from GSW/Jackes-Evans. At the beginning of 2001, we purchased the assets of Liberty Foundry, which added cast iron fireplace grates and other accessories such as andirons and steamer kettles. HY-C is a market leader in all the product lines that we manufacture. We take pride in the quality of our products and the breadth of selection within our product lines.
