    Thank you for the opportunity to introduce you to Home Menders, Inc.! 

    Home Menders Inc. (HMI) was established in May of 1973 in the State of Minnesota.  In 1975, we began specializing in airport construction and have continued ever since serving over 30 airports nationwide.

    HMI has developed over the years acquiring the equipment and personnel to provide surveys, designs, layouts and the installations of very complex aviation systems.   Multiple systems have been installed for airports, state agencies and the FAA.  A few of these systems are shared with you on the following pages.

    HMI's project approach begins with careful consideration and research of every project.  We spend a great deal of time reviewing the project with the owner and engineer to ensure it is planned for efficiency and cost savings.  Familiarity with the project work and its schedule is essential for all parties to ensure the project will be conducted safely, on time and on budget.  HMI maintains close coordination throughout the project to ensure this philosophy continues. 

    When working on a project, we pay close attention to the details of the work to detect any cost savings or identify the need for modifications to provide a more efficient product. Our personnel are equipped to provide fabrications in the field to achieve this efficiency.

    HMI is very accustomed to working with airport's schedules realizing air carrier flights, weather and special events may all impact a project.  We realize completing a project on time and with quality workmanship is paramount to keeping an airport operating successful.  

    HMI has over 30 years of safety experience.  All personnel are trained with the knowledge of airfield communications, driving procedures and complying with airfield security requirements.  This has resulted in never experiencing an accident or runway incursion.

Always striving to place quality workmanship first, HMI will provide you with a quality product on time meeting your schedule.  Please contact us today and allow HMI to review your needs and assist with implementing your systems.

Sincerely,



Jeffrey M. Widness
