History of HIKO

HIKO was started in 1991 by Thomas Hillsman and Joe Kouten to provide the best-in-class equipment to the Richmond Virginia area automotive market.  Its focus was on delivering the best equipment with the best customer service in the marketplace.  31 years later and now a Parsons Ventures Inc. company, this commitment to top-of-the-line quality product and superior customer service has only grown stronger.  Continuing to serve the Richmond area but with an expanded footprint servicing all of Virginia and portions of West Virginia, today our company of over 12 employees continues to work to provide our customers an experience unsurpassed in the industry.  Over the years we have grown our services to include facility design and project management, installation of all types of equipment and related automotive mechanical systems, and a service department with factory trained and experienced technicians.  To discuss your equipment needs, contact us today.
