Betting on the Future
Family-Owned Since 1930
From our humble beginnings—one man, one truck, and a dream—we are continually evolving to realize our founder John E. Fehsenfeld’s vision of a long-term family business, guided by his core family values.
CORE INDUSTRIES
The Heritage Group has deep expertise and significant holdings in the fields of construction and materials, environmental services and specialty chemicals.
Construction & Materials
For more than 50 years, the Heritage Construction + Materials family of companies has built roads, bridges and other commercial projects across the Midwest and as far away as China. Our asphalt and aggregate supply companies produce and distribute high-quality road construction materials and specialty minerals throughout the country.
Environmental Services
The Heritage Group has been developing environmentally sustainable solutions for more than 50 years. We started Heritage Environmental Services (HES) in 1970, the same year the EPA was created. What began as a small, family-owned operation has evolved into a fully integrated environmental services platform through Cirba Solutions and Envita Solutions.
Specialty Chemicals
Monument Chemical is a leader in custom chemical manufacturing and sells a leading line of solvents, chemical intermediates, and polyols to our customers in North America and Europe. Key markets include inks and paints, fuel gas scrubbing, microchip fabrication and memory foam mattresses.
