Overland Park / Kansas / United States
Hesler Company, Inc was started just after World War II in 1946 by three Hesler brothers, Delbert P. Hesler, Harold P. Hesler, and William W. Hesler. These three brothers, who were all engineers, formed a business partnership in Kansas City, Missouri USA, to represent several different manufacturers of engineered equipment for power plants. The Hesler brothers called on Black & Veatch and Burns & McDonnell, two of Americas premier power engineering firms who were designing and building coal-fired power plants to supply electricity to Americas booming post war economy. The Hesler brothers also called on utility customers in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Western Iowa and Northern Oklahoma. Today, Hesler Company is still a partnership of four engineers who have continued the tradition of representing quality manufacturers of power plant equipment. We are still supporting not only Black & Veatch and Burns & McDonnell, but additional engineering firms such as Bibb & Associates, Sega, Lutz-Daily-Brain, HDR Engineering, Brown Engineers, Utility Engineering-Omaha, and URS/Advatech. These engineering firms, all located in the Kansas City area, are now designing and building coal-fired and natural gas-fired-combined-cycle power plants worldwide. Many of these firms are also retrofitting older plants with new air pollution control equipment ( wet and dry scrubbers ) to reduce harmful emissions to our atmosphere.
