9/11 Memorial Plaza - Hycomp, Inc.

August 4, 2022by Hycomp, Inc.

September 11th means a lot more to Americans since the tragedy of 2001 took nearly 3,000 lives and decimated the World Trade Center buildings in New York. Now that same area, known as “ground zero,” has been opened to the public as the 9/11 Memorial Plaza.

The Associated Press reported: “The 9/11 Memorial Plaza opened its gates at 10 a.m. (Sep. 12) under tight, airport-style security. Visitors were allowed to walk among hundreds of white oak trees on the eight-acre site and gaze at the water on the exact spots where the World Trade Center’s twin towers stood.

They will also be able to run their fingers over the names of the 2,977 people killed in the terrorist attacks in New York, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, as well as the six who died in the bombing of the trade center in 1993.”

Those names, “chiseled-in-bronze” and surrounding the reflecting pools, provide a place for people to honor the lives lost on that dark day. The bronze plates are held in place by a stainless steel support system manufactured by Service Metal Fabricating. The New Jersey based company, Service Metal Fabricating, serves many different industries, such as: manufacturing, pharmaceutical, construction and food packaging, to name only a few. Service Metal Fabricating utilizes two Hycomp nitrogen boosters combined with their nitrogen generators to provide high pressure/high purity nitrogen for laser cutting machines used for the 9/11 memorial project.

The new memorial plaza will stand as a reminder of the tragedies that took place a decade ago. This memorial will also forever remind us of what The United States of America can accomplish when we are truly united. Service Metal Fabricating and Hycomp are very proud to have been a small part in the construction of the 9/11 Memorial Plaza.

Hycomp Makes The List!
We are very pleased to announce that Hycomp is currently one of the fastest growing companies in the United States according to Inc. Magazine’s exclusive annual ranking – “Inc. 500|5000: America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies.”

Thirty years ago (1981) Inc. Magazine began to publish an annual report of what was originally titled: “The Inc. Private 100: One Hundred of the Fastest-Growing Privately Held Companies in the United States.” They have refined the title of this report and expanded it to a list of 5000 with a concentration on the top 500.

The 2011 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2007 through 2010. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2007. Additionally, they had to be based in the United States, privately held, for profit, and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2010.

From 2007 to 2010 Hycomp has experienced a growth of 83%. Our hard work and customer service based business model has earned Hycomp a rank of 2719 out of 5000 companies and a manufacturing industry rank of 91.

We continue to push forward by researching new markets and applications where our compressors and boosters can provide quality solutions. Hycomp compressors are manufactured to handle three main high pressure situations: 1) Compressed air above 150 psig, 2) When plant air pressure isn’t enough and 3) Compressing any gas other than air. Hycomp continues to grow through solid engineering, industry-specific market research and by building strong relationships of trust with our distributors and end-users. In 2011 we have been noticed for our efforts by Inc Magazine, and to be honest, it feels really good!
