Global Electrical Equipment Manufacturer Selects PARIC for Expansion Project

The H-J Family of Companies, a leading electrical equipment component manufacturer, has selected PARIC for its major expansion of its production facility at the company’s headquarters in High Ridge, Missouri. The multimillion-dollar project will add an additional 80,000-square-feet, expanding H-J’s operational capacity to meet the growing demands of U.S. energy usage and the nation’s electrical grid infrastructure.

The H-J Family of Companies, organized in 1969, has grown to become a global leader in the heavy electrical industry, with offices and employees in 12 nations doing business in more than 70 countries. A vertically integrated manufacturer, H-J maintains in-house resources for product development from concept to design through testing and final production. These resources include electrical, mechanical and material flow simulation software, full tool and die design and manufacture and a fully equipped test lab for all electrical, mechanical, chemical and environmental test requirements. The company’s products are vital components in electrical transformers, switchgear systems and other essential parts of the world’s power distribution and transmission network.

Construction is underway and is planned for completion in late 2026. The new facility will feature state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, significantly increasing H-J’s production and global presence. H-J expects that this expansion will result in additional employment of approximately 150 employees.

“This expansion demonstrates our long-term commitment to our employees, our customers, and the High Ridge community,” said Jay Shekelton, President & CEO. “We are proud to continue growing right here where it all began.”
