Hill & Smith Inc.
Hill & Smith PLC, the parent company of Hill & Smith Inc. can trace their history back over a century and a half as an innovative world leader primarily serving the infrastructure, galvanizing, building, and construction industries. On September 5, 2008, Hill & Smith PLC announced an exciting development in their strategy for expansion of their HS Roads and Security operations into the US market. With the objective of mirroring the success in the UK, a new company was formed in the US to expand their global reach: Hill & Smith Inc.
Hill & Smith Inc. headquartered in Columbus, Ohio was formed in 2008. The first of several planned American manufactured products at Hill & Smith Inc. was Zoneguard®, a portable steel barrier system capable of redirecting motor vehicles back to the roadway and thus protecting work zones and/or potential hazards from errant vehicles. While portable steel crash barriers had been used for decades throughout Europe, this innovative design was new to American highways. Zoneguard® underwent extensive crash testing to meet the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) 2009 requirements in the US and received Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) eligibility for use on the National Highway Systems.
