A STORY
THE IDEA OF SERVICE
In 1968, after 5 years of working first with the Cement Industry (Cementos Diamante in Apulo and Buenos Aires) and then with the materials handling equipment industry (Rapiscol), we made the decision to form a Company related to our personal experience. The Manager of this newly founded Engineering Company was Guillermo Londoño.
STARTING OPERATIONS
The company began working with clients such as the Soda Plant (in Cartagena and Zipaquirá), American Pipe (in the construction of Tibito II), Cementos Diamante (conversion to coal and redesign of cement packers), Cementos Samper, Cementos Boyacá, and some smaller ones (aggregate plant designs and optimization of crushing systems).
TOWARDS SPECIALIZATION
“I (Hernando Londoño) took the Presidency and directed the Company towards a more specialized path aligned with my experience. Fortunately, clients began to increase and contracts grew in size. It was then that HL Ingenieros S.A., known today by all, was entrusted with the assembly of the mail system that Adpostal had contracted with G.E. from England.”
DEVELOPMENT
“To execute this contract, the Company had the fortune of crossing paths with Dr. Marco Arturo Muñoz, who is and has been an integral part of the successful development of HL Ingenieros S.A. Soon, he brought us one of the most important contracts in our development: project management, manufacturing of equipment and structures, mechanical and electrical assembly of a complete cement line for Cementos Del Norte in Cúcuta.”
ALLIANCES FOR GROWTH
But life passes by, the country changes, the management ages, and once again we find ourselves facing new challenges. Strengthening the workflow to guarantee long-term plans. Seeking alliances to strengthen our financial position, allowing us to participate in contracts more in line with our size.
I AM PART OF
It’s been over 15 years since I joined the company. I’ve never written a testimonial before, but today I feel the need to do so and express the admiration I feel for those who forged and instilled unwavering corporate values within the organization.
Today, I understand that all this journey has been worth it. I have achieved economic and emotional stability thanks to the job and professional opportunities that the company has provided me. I am grateful to the shareholders, executives, and all members of the organization for allowing me to be part of it.
I AM PART OF
During my time working for the HL Group, I consider it to be the only organization of its kind that, before thinking about its own benefit, thinks about the benefit of its employees, its clients, and its good reputation; therefore, it is a pride for me to be part of this important organization in which I have grown and felt like family. It has given me multiple opportunities to develop myself as a great human being, a great professional, and to reinforce principles and respect for others. In the HL Group, they see us as human beings.
Let’s move forward.
