Did HRTLND used to be called Heartland Companies?
Yes. We were founded as Heartland Companies in 2002, and rebranded to HRTLND in 2021 when we established our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). We wanted to create a corporate structure that passed the baton and gave autonomy and ownership to the next generation of leaders and skilled professionals that call HRTLND Companies home as we scale our construction services into the future.
What types of projects does HRTLND work on?
HRTLND works on a wide range of commercial and industrial projects, including healthcare facilities, education buildings, corporate offices, industrial spaces, and public projects. Our team is experienced in both large-scale commercial builds and complex finishing scopes that require precision, coordination, and efficiency.
What makes HRTLND different from other contractors?
What sets HRTLND apart is our people-first culture, ESOP ownership structure, and commitment to education and transparency. We believe informed customers make better decisions, so we lead every project by clearly explaining our processes, materials, and timelines. Our Midwest work ethic, accountability, and follow-through are core to how we build trust with every client.
What companies does HRTLND own?
HRTLND Companies operates as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), meaning its employees have a direct ownership stake in the company. Through the ESOP, team members earn shares over time, allowing them to benefit from the company’s growth and long-term success. This structure aligns everyone around a shared goal—doing great work, supporting one another, and building something that lasts.
Included in our family of companies are:
- Heartland Finishes
- Heartland Door & Frame
