At Hynes Industries, completing our 100th year has only strengthened what has always defined us: a culture built around people. Longevity here is not an abstract statistic but rather is lived every day on our plant floors and in our offices.
As CEO Rick Organ explains, the company’s enduring success rests first and foremost on its people and on the generations of families who have chosen to build their careers at Hynes.
One standout example comes from longtime employee Jimmy Coyne, who started at Hynes at age 17 and has spent 44 years growing, evolving and leading within the organization. His high energy and great attitude represent the culture his team described as grounded in collaboration, friendship and looking out for one another, both on and off the clock.
Care for people shows up in practical, meaningful ways. Employees describe a workplace where communication is prioritized, with intentional shift-overlap time built in so teammates can talk face-to-face about the work rather than relying on notes or assumptions.
It also shows up in simple gestures, like staff-organized breakfasts, hot-dog lunches on the first day of baseball season, or sharing of cold treats on a hot, summer day, which reinforce a sense of belonging and appreciation.
Just as importantly, Hynes supports the communities where employees live and work. Whether partnering with United Way, local schools or delivering holiday gift cards – donations that in one instance moved a local nonprofit director to tears – Hynes employees lead the charge, identifying causes meaningful to them and delivering support personally, not just through a corporate check.
The manufacturer’s employee culture message is consistent: Hynes is a place where people matter. A place where careers are built, neighbors are supported and respect is something practiced, not just promised. That spirit, sustained for a century, continues to make Hynes Industries a truly great place to work.
