Hill Mechanical Group and Ahern Fire Protection Partnership Adds Value and Quality to Chicago Market
Hill Mechanical Group and Ahern Fire Protection’s Chicago office recently entered into a jointly owned partnership to provide fire protection services to the greater Chicago area under the name of Hill/Ahern Fire Protection. This agreement leverages Ahern's fire protection expertise with Hill's extensive market presence, and offers customers exceptional service from a unified, trusted source. The Company's collaborative team increases value through single-source contracting, in-house fabrication and 3D/BIM design, and a shared vision for delivering superior quality. Hill/Ahern Fire Protection's daily operations will be led by Ahern's current Chicago staff, who will relocate to Hill’s Franklin Park facility. The Company's management team includes current Ahern District Manager Tim Turbak, Ahern Fire Protection Executive Vice President Ken Collins, and Hill Mechanical Vice President Jim Hill.
Hill/Ahern Fire Protection offers customers more than 200 years of combined industry experience, with Ahern being founded in 1880 and Hill being formed in 1936. This longevity uniquely positions the Company to deliver sound estimates, offer expert advice, maintain cutting-edge technology, and employ quality personnel, while paying close attention to each customer’s individual needs.
"Partnering the largest mechanical contractor in Chicago with the largest fire protection contractor in the Midwest promises significant, mutually beneficial opportunities," commented Collins. "Hill/Ahern Fire Protection's combined capabilities and quality focus strengthen its role of trusted advisor to both mechanical and fire protection clients."
Hill Mechanical is equally enthusiastic about the opportunities this new collaboration offers. "This partnership presents immediate benefits and value by allowing Hill/Ahern Fire Protection to provide our clients a total mechanical solution," said Hill Mechanical President Bob Krier.
Ahern Fire Protection and its parent company, J. F. Ahern Co., continue to operate corporate and district offices in Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. BACK TO NEWS
