Company History
G.L. Huyett was founded in Minneapolis, Kansas in 1899 by
Guy L. Huyett, a German immigrant. The business was incorporated
in 1906, and is now one of the oldest continuously operating
businesses in the state. In 1930, Guy Huyett turned the operation
of the business over to Henry Hahn. At the time, the Company had
six accounts. Louis Hahn, Henry’s son, bought the business in 1948.
During this period, the business generated $18,000 in annual sales.
G.L. Huyett began a major transformation in the 1970’s when Louis’
son, Bob, joined the business. He had an entrepreneurial urge and
felt that G.L. Huyett had a great deal of unrealized potential. In
November of 1992, Bob sold the business to Tim and Carol O’Keeffe. In recent years,
G.L. Huyett has made substantial investments in facilities and technology, working to establish itself as a World Class
leader in the specialty fastener industry. G.L. Huyett counts itself as a successful example of the American Dream and
looks forward to another century of triumph.
