Government & Projects
Every mark below is listed with its issuer and its certificate number, alongside the CAGE code and NAICS codes, so a compliance package can be built straight off this page. Hillco Distributing Company, Inc. is a woman-owned HVAC equipment supplier in Chicago, in business since 1970, currently certified in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
How it works
Public projects in Chicago and Illinois carry MBE/WBE participation goals, and federally funded work carries DBE goals. Equipment purchased from a certified supplier counts toward those goals, so the units the project needed anyway can close a compliance gap.
That is the whole pitch. Same equipment, same lead times, one more line item the diversity report gets to claim. Hillco supplies the certificates and documentation your compliance package needs with the order.
The line card covers eleven categories: every kind of heater, plus boilers, pumps, rooftop units, makeup air, ductless splits, air curtains, and HVLS fans.
Certifications
Hillco Distributing holds current woman-owned and disadvantaged business certifications from the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois, IDOT, the SBA, WBENC, the MWRD, and the states of Wisconsin and Indiana. All are current, and certificate copies go out with any order that needs them.
Which one your project needs depends on the funding source. That is the last column.
