Congratulations to Harrison, Walker & Harper on acquiring the Turner Industries Pipe Fabrication Facility right here in Paris, Texas. Your investment in our community says everything about your commitment to our region. Hereโ€™s to big things ahead!

For 139 years, Harrison, Walker & Harper has stood as a cornerstone of our community. Our longevity has never been a matter of luck; it is the direct result of the hard work, grit, and dedication that our team brings to our jobsites, our shops, and our offices across the country. Because of that unwavering commitment, we have earned the right to think bigger, push further, and build a stronger foundation for the generations that will follow us.

Today, we are incredibly proud to announce a monumental milestone in our company's history. HWH has officially acquired the former Turner Industries Pipe Fabrication Facility right here in Paris located just down the road from our current headquarters. This is not just an acquisition of land and steel; it is a major investment in our shared future, our families, and our hometown.

This world-class facility represents a massive upgrade to our operational capabilities and provides the footprint required to support our evolution as a turn-key solutions provider spanning design-build construction, civil site utilities, industrial modular pods, and complex program management. Over the coming months, we will systematically execute two major strategic transitions:

โ€ข๐”๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐…๐š๐›๐ซ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐’๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ-๐๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ: We will move our entire current fabrication shop into the massive Turner facilities. To maximize this world-class space, we are investing in a multi-million dollar technology expansion, bringing in automated equipment to aggressively extend our market reach, enhance our structural steel and piping production, and solidify HWH as a national industrial leader.

โ€ข๐”๐ง๐ข๐Ÿ๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐‚๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‡๐ฎ๐›: We will move all corporate headquarters offices, people, and functions to the larger, modern office facility at the new site. Bringing our operational, design-build, manufacturing, logistics, and administrative teams together under one premier roof will reduce operational friction and accelerate our shared growth.

Our people are our most important asset, and an enterprise only grows when its people grow. This expansion is designed to create a rising tide for everyone across the HWH family, from our senior executives charting global infrastructure strategy to our frontline teams self-performing complex operations in the field. Enhanced capabilities mean greater business scale, long-term job security, and an environment where everyone has the opportunity to develop high-tech skills as we continue to integrate advanced automated systems into our daily operations.

We have been deeply embedded in the civic and commercial fabric of Paris since 1887. This major facility modernization signals to the entire region that HWH is doubling down on our hometown. This project will deliver a powerful economic stimulus to Lamar County, expanding our community development footprint, supporting local commerce, and permanently elevating the economic trajectory of the region we call home.

We want to extend our deepest, most sincere thankfulness to our team. Your daily ex*****on is the engine that made this transaction possible. We are deeply honored to lead this multi-generational enterprise into its next era, and we are excited for the growth opportunities ahead of us for many, many years to come.

Stand tall, stay disciplined, and letโ€™s keep moving forward.

Sincerely,
Jordan Harper | Chief Executive Officer
Holland Harper | Chief Development Officer
