Our Story
It was a conversation at dinner one night where co-founder Howard Huffman was asked if he knew how to connect a load cell to a PLC 2 within a control system for Kellogg’s production line of one of their most popular cereal brands. Grabbing a nearby napkin, Howard, an electrical engineer finishing up his last semesters of a Master’s program at Rose Hulman at the time, quickly designed a system uncommon in the state of Nebraska at the time. Kellogg’s encouraged him to move across the country and start Huffman Engineering, Inc. (HEI) and following graduation, that’s exactly what he and his wife and co-founder, Wendy Huffman did.
From humble beginnings, the Huffman team grew a company built on core values of Doing the Right Thing and Making Ideas Work. They incorporated in 1987 and for over three decades Huffman Engineering, Inc. has provided quality engineered services of the highest quality to regulated industries relying on detailed documentation, solid foundations of professional development for their teams and honesty and integrity for all customers.
Now over 3 decades later, HEI has provided engineering design and control systems integration to industrial and utility customers. With offices in Lincoln & Omaha, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado, Huffman Engineering, Inc. provides service across the Midwest. Expertise in engineering, CAD design, project management, qualification & validation, UL panel building and licensed technical work sit alongside exceptional quality. Huffman Engineering is large enough to handle numerous, complex projects but not so large that the team forgets to treat the customer like a partner.
