President and CEO, Deb Hilmerson, was featured in the July 2022 issue of Fence News USA. In this article, Deb talks about how she found her passion for construction safety, being a woman in the industry, and more. Check out the article: “Every Experience Prepares You for What’s Next”.
“There are times you forgot how far you’ve come and I think it’s important to stop and recognize that. As a student-athlete at the University of Minnesota back in the 1980s, I vividly recall cutting through the Engineering School to get to basketball practice. I’d see all those really smart people, and think I wasn’t smart enough to be in those classrooms.
Today, I own a company that designs, engineers and sells construction safety products. When I returned to campus not long ago, it felt surreal to see products I created, with my name and logo on them, in use on two big projects, including an extensive renovation at the College of Science and Engineering. Talk about a full circle moment!”
This high-profile, one-year project is located on the University of Minnesota Campus adjacent to the main pedestrian corridor. Superior perimeter protection is needed during construction operations. Hilmerson Safety’s robust, construction-grade fencing systems will provide security, noise reduction and privacy screening to contain the construction area and debris.
