In 1981, Richard Skipper and Tommy Hicks formed SKIHI Enterprises,
it's name derived from the two founders' last names. In the beginning,
SKIHI Enterprises started with the principals as the only employees
with the focus to not exceed the capabilities of the company personnel
or overextend the operating capital available. Due to the respect and
loyalty that existed between the principals and other personnel in the
industry, the employee base grew at a remarkable pace.
SKIHI today is a full service mechanical / industrial contractor with
design-build capabilities, with 325 employees and a 38,000 square foot
headquarters, office and fabrication facility. The philosophy
behind the company's success is controlled growth. SKIHI performed $1
million volume the first year, $4 million the second year, $16
million in 1998, $45 million in 2004 and just under $38 million in
2008.
We have expanded our office area to facilitate
growth in our Industrial and Service Departments. SKIHI continues to
be proactive in our industry. We have several employees who serve as
officers, board members and representatives to industry associations,
as well as three employees who are instructors for the Construction
Education Foundation.
