About · The Henry Group

Fifty years of showing up.
One elite standard we never let slip.

We started in 1976 building bakery ovens that had to bake the same way, loaf after loaf, day after day, decade after decade. That discipline built the company. It still runs everything we do.

Made & staffed

Built in bakery. Earned everywhere else.

For five decades, the bakery industry has trusted us with the equipment that makes their product. Hearth-plate ovens. Tunnel ovens. Mixing systems. Conveyors. Automation upgrades that bring fifty-year-old equipment up to today's standards without ripping out what works.

That work taught us a vocabulary. Mole runs. Burner balance. Thermocouple placement. Damper modulation. The kind of language you only learn by standing next to an oven at 4 a.m. with a wrench in your hand and a production manager waiting to know whether the line will be back up for the morning shift.

That same vocabulary translates. A bottling line, a server rack, a conveyor system, a beverage filler. They're different equipment, but they ask for the same kind of crew. Crews who diagnose first. Crews who document everything. Crews who don't leave until the line is running at spec.

That's why we built the bakery name first. And it's why we're the right call when you need any other piece of industrial equipment installed, relocated, modernized, or running again by Friday.

A full, even bake: what we built our name on.
The three principles we operate by

Tradition Vision Innovation

PILLAR 01

Tradition

Three generations of Henrys have worked this floor. Fifty years of doing the work the right way: the right tools, the right torque, the right people on site. We don't take shortcuts because shortcuts cost the customer when something fails six months later and they don't know why.

PILLAR 02

Vision

We see where the work is going. From hearth-plate ovens to bottling lines to data centers, we expand into industries that demand the same discipline we built bakery on. We earn the right to do new work by mastering old work first.

PILLAR 03

Innovation

PLC retrofits on legacy equipment. Recipe-driven controls. Thermocouple upgrades that turn a single-zone read into a real-time temperature map. Innovation here means making old equipment work like new, not throwing it out and starting over.

The Elite Standard

An elite standard
isn't a slogan. It's a checklist.

Three things define how every Field Crew technician shows up to your floor. We don't say it because it sounds good. We say it because we've watched what happens when one of these gets skipped.

01

We diagnose first.

A written assessment before a wrench moves. Symptoms aren't the problem; root cause is. If we can't tell you why something failed, we can't be sure it won't fail again.

02

We document everything.

Mole runs. Burner balance. Torque values. Photos. You leave with a report you can hand to your insurer, your auditor, or your boss, not a verbal call-and-response.

03

We finish the job.

No "this should hold." If the line isn't running at spec when we leave, we haven't left. That includes commissioning, baseline metrics, and a call back in 30 days to confirm everything's still right.

The people behind the work

You're not hiring a logo.
You're hiring these people.

Industrial service is a relationship business. The same Field Crew lead who scopes your install will be the one calling you on day three to confirm commissioning hit spec. Here's who you'll work with.

Troy Henry
Chief Executive Officer
Second-generation. Grew up on the shop floor. Sets direction, keeps the elite standard non-negotiable, and still picks up the phone for major-customer escalations.
Morgan Henry
Vice President
Third-generation Henry. And still on the floor. He was on site at HEB San Antonio running mole runs himself. Sets direction with Troy and stays close to the field work the company is built on.
Simon Cowley
Director of Operations
Project management, scheduling, scope. The reason your install hits its calendar. Translates customer needs into Field Crew workplans and back again.
Jared Fitzgerald
Director of Manufacturing
Custom fabrication, weldments, machined parts. If the off-the-shelf piece won't fit, Jared's team builds the one that will: to spec, to drawing, in-house.
From the field
"An elite standard isn't something you put on a poster. It's the thing you do at 2 a.m. when nobody's watching, because if you don't, a customer's line is down by 6."
Hank Pickering · Field Crew Lead
"Excited I got to join a family who likes to get things done the right way."

What's behind the crew

The work doesn't
get done alone.

Field Crew is the visible piece. Behind them is a fab shop, a parts catalog, an in-house permit team, and a direct dispatch line. Here's what supports every job.

01 / In-house

Fabrication shop

Custom weldments, machining, sheet metal: 11 certified welders on staff. We build what off-the-shelf doesn't cover, in our own facility, to your drawing.

02 / In-stock

USA-made parts catalog

Burner ignitors, flex hoses, thermocouples, conveyor components. Same-week ship, field-installable, no overseas wait.

03 / In-house

Permits & rigging

Crane plans, lift plans, route permits. We don't subcontract the paperwork; we do it ourselves so the schedule doesn't slip.

04 / Direct

Emergency dispatch line

Real human picks up. Auto-routes to four Field Crew leads. We talk it through and get a crew out as soon as we can.

05 / In-house

Project management

One PM owns your install from quote to commissioning. You don't get handed off between teams: same point of contact throughout.

06 / On-staff

Controls & automation engineering

PLC programming, recipe systems, OEE dashboards. Modernize legacy equipment without ripping it out and starting over.
