High Industries Inc.

What High Industries Inc. does

High Industries Inc. is a privately held Pennsylvania corporation and the operating anchor of the High Companies umbrella organization, headquartered at 1853 William Penn Way in Lancaster, PA. Founded in 1931, the company and its affiliated subsidiaries deliver integrated manufacturing, commercial construction, and real estate services across the Mid-Atlantic region. Since December 2023, High Industries has operated under the ownership of High Foundation, a nonprofit parent.

The company's core offerings are organized through multiple wholly-owned operating units. High Steel Structures fabricates large-scale structural steel components, including girders up to 100,000 pounds and 12 feet in depth for major bridge and infrastructure projects; High Concrete Group supplies precast and ready-mix concrete; High Steel Service Center provides steel processing and distribution; and High Structural Erectors handles field assembly. High Construction delivers commercial construction management and design-build services, complemented by Greenfield Architects (design) and High EHS (environmental, health, and safety consulting). High Transit operates bus and shuttle services, and StructureCare provides inspection and repair for bridges and parking structures. High Real Estate Group, High Hotels, and High Associates extend the platform into brokerage, investment, property management, and hospitality.

High Industries generates revenue primarily through project-based construction contracts, sales of manufactured steel and concrete products to construction projects and third-party buyers, and real estate and hospitality services. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government agencies (e.g., New York State Thruway Authority), commercial developers, institutional clients, and other construction firms, with senior leadership directly engaged on major pursuits. Project pricing is bid- or quote-based on scope and specifications, with no standardized public pricing. Notable reference projects include the Tappan Zee Bridge Replacement (Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge), where High Steel supplied approximately 800 girders as one of only a few U.S. suppliers capable of meeting the schedule and volume demands.
