Since 1969, the essential business activity of Hog Slat, Inc. has centered on the pork industry. Our founder, William T. "Billy" Herring, saw a need for concrete flooring panels based on his own needs as a pork producer on the Herring family farm. As founder and Chairman of Hog Slat, he oversaw the development of a company that became the worldwide leader in providing concrete slats, fabricated metal equipment and turnkey construction to the swine industry. Today, Hog Slat has expanded those capabilities to the poultry industry, and we support both our hog and poultry customer base with three major distribution centers and over seventy retail locations throughout the U.S. Our manufacturing presence has spread into South America and Eastern Europe, and we have developed new markets that are outside of our traditional, core agricultural market base for our concrete and metal products.
