Celebrating the Retirements of Greg Luczak and Lenny Sands

As we wrap up 2024, we want to take a moment and honor the retirements of Greg Luczak (L) and Lenny Sands (R). Their dedication and contributions have left a lasting impact on HSA, and their presence will be missed. Please join us in sending them off with warm wishes and heartfelt gratitude as they embark on this exciting new chapter!

The ASSE Annual Product Show

Last month Philip Traynor, James Kane, and Tyler Hamilton proudly represented HSA at the ASSE Annual Product Show held at the Plumbers Union Local 130 Training Campus in Chicago. The event was a fantastic opportunity to explore the latest product innovations, tools, and designs, all while enjoying great food, drinks, and exciting raffles.

We are grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect and learn more about what we offer. Events like these highlight the incredible collaboration and energy within our industry, and we’re honored to be part of it!

HSA's Annual Christmas Party

HSA employees gathered to celebrate the holiday season at our Annual Christmas Party. It was a wonderful evening filled with good food, drinks, and great company. Everyone left with a festive holiday 4-pack of beer to enjoy at home. Even Herk, Stick, and Rudolph joined in on the fun! It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season and share some holiday cheer with our amazing team!

The Bensenville Annual Holiday Toy Drive

Earlier this month, Lisa Pardue, Barb DeCanio, Daisy Colli, Vince Dibari, Penny Rimdizius, and Katie Goodman came together to support Bensenville’s Annual Toy Drive. As part of our final HSA Gives Back initiative of the year, the team helped set up shopping and wrapping stations in preparation for the big Toy Drive event, held the following day.



HSA also contributed to the cause by purchasing and donating 42 items from the Toy Drive’s wish list, helping ensure children in the community receive the gifts they’ve been hoping for this holiday season.

We are so proud to end the year on such a meaningful note, spreading joy and holiday cheer to families in need. A huge thank-you to everyone who participated and made this event a success. Giving back to the communities we serve is very important to us, and we’re looking forward to continuing this tradition in 2025!
