HK Research was founded by Richard and Jan Higgins in 1980 to produce advanced gel coats, such as HydroShield®. In 1995, the company opened a fully-automated plant in Hickory, North Carolina with the capacity to produce 40,000 lbs. per hour and 320,000 lbs. per shift. By 2002, HK was the second largest producer of gel coat materials in the world, and today, they are America's leading gel coat company. With their streamlined production, HK can devote more energy to Research and Development. Their record speaks for itself.
