CELEBRATING 100 YEARS
100 YEARS OF H2I GROUP
H2I Group is excited to celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2024, marking a century of innovation, growth, and unwavering dedication to excellence. Since our establishment in 1924, H2I Group has transformed from a modest supply company in Minnesota to a leading nationwide entity, offering a wide array of solutions across various industries. Join us in commemorating a century of remarkable achievements and looking forward to the endless possibilities that lie ahead!
OUR HISTORY
H2I Group began in 1924 as The Industrial Supply Company, a small operation in Minnesota. The 1950s marked a significant phase of expansion for us, diversifying into new markets and products. This era of growth led us to adopt a new name, Haldeman-Homme, honoring our founders Duke Haldeman and Jack Homme.
A defining moment in our history came in 1977, when we transformed into a 100% employee-owned entity through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This shift was more than a structural change—it instilled a profound sense of ownership and pride in our team, fueling our growth and driving our success.
The year 2019 marked another milestone as we rebranded ourselves to H2I Group. Our journey through the years has been characterized by strategic acquisitions and the establishment of new offices, broadening our reach from a local supplier to a nationwide leader. Today, we proudly stand with over 400 employees and 18 offices spread across the United States.
Now, as we gear up to celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2024, we reflect on our past with pride and look to the future with excitement. Our centennial celebration is not just about our legacy but a forward-looking perspective, embracing the opportunities and innovations that the future holds for H2I Group.

It’s a unique opportunity for our employees, partners, and friends to actively participate in making a positive impact, both big and small.
Here’s how you can join in and share in the spirit of kindness:
Perform Your Act of Kindness:
This can be something spontaneous or a planned activity. Whether it's assisting a neighbor, volunteering at or donating to a local charity, or simply sharing a kind gesture with a stranger, every act of kindness counts. Let your heart lead the way in choosing how to make a difference.
Capture the Moment:
Take a photo of your act of kindness. This could be a selfie, a picture of the act in progress, or even a snapshot that symbolically represents your deed. The aim is to capture the essence and emotion of the moment, highlighting the impact of your kindness.
Share Your Story:
Post your photo and story on social media, using the hashtags #H2IGroup100 and #100Acts to share your experience. This not only spreads the word about our initiative but also inspires others to join in and perform their own acts of kindness.
