Cemco was established in 1962 by Mason R. Hise. Cemco moved to its current 144,000-square-foot facility in Belen, N.M., in 2004 Fifty years after being faced with necessity, Cemco has grown into a global solutions provider.

The transforma- tion took place quietly, almost unnoticed, a result of one thing — Hise's work ethic and his motivation to fulfill the American Dream. "There was never a conscious decision to become an equipment manufacturer," says Neil Hise, Ma- son's son and current president of Cemco. "We were just working hard and trying to solve problems. We didn't let anyone tell us there was something we couldn't do."

The company is now on its third generation and continues to focus on solving the unique chal- lenges of the mining and aggregate industries while leveraging its experience to reshape the recycling and cement industries as well.
