What H&K Group, Inc. does

H&K Group, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil contracting and construction materials company headquartered in Skippack, Pennsylvania, founded in 1968 as Haines & Kibblehouse, Inc. The company operates approximately 85 facilities across four Mid-Atlantic states (eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware), including 26 crushed stone quarries, 19 hot-mix asphalt plants, ready-mix concrete operations, precast concrete production, and a manufactured concrete block plant. H&K produces DOT-certified construction materials meeting PennDOT, NJDOT, DelDOT, and MDSHA specifications, employing Northeast Center of Excellence for Pavement Technology (NECEPT) certified technicians, and ranks 21st nationally as a crushed stone producer according to Pit & Quarry Magazine.

The company's business model is built on vertical integration spanning raw material extraction (quarrying) through finished materials production (asphalt, concrete, precast) to on-the-ground civil construction delivery through 12 contracting divisions. Core service lines include site and land development, transportation infrastructure and structures, water and wastewater systems, design-build and value engineering, environmental services, demolition, reclamation fill acceptance, materials recycling, and emergency response. Ancillary lines include fuel/heating oil sales (American Fuels), metal fabrication, auto body repair, vinyl graphics, promotional products, and engineering/environmental consulting, all operated through a constellation of subsidiary brands.

H&K generates revenue primarily through one-time materials sales (quote-based pricing for crushed stone, asphalt, concrete, sand & gravel, landscape materials) and project-based civil contracting services bid directly to government agencies and commercial developers. The customer base spans state DOTs (PennDOT, NJDOT, DelDOT, MDSHA), municipal and county governments, commercial and industrial contractors, and residential consumers purchasing landscape materials. Materials distribution is supported by Stone Express, Inc., H&K's in-house tri-axle trucking fleet. The company has remained under continuous family control across three generations, with John B. Haines IV and Jack Kibblehouse serving as Co-Chairmen and Scott B. Haines appointed as the first CEO in 2007.
