The Huncilman family and business have been a cornerstone of the New Albany community for over a century. Founded as a boiler repair company, today, Huncilman’s primary capabilities include laser cutting, precision forming, welding (including robotic welding), and E-coat painting.

In August of 2024, Nix Industrial, a 5th generation family business and leader in metal fabrication and industrial services acquired the majority ownership interest in Huncilman Sheet Metal Fabrication. This marks the largest acquisition to date for Nix Industrial, positioning the combined companies as one of the largest metal fabricators in the state of Indiana and one of the 40 largest in the U.S. The companies have a combined workforce of over 200 team members. Parker Huncilman, the 5th generation leader, has joined forces with the Nix family (also in its 5th generation) to acquire the business from his father and uncle. Parker Huncilman will continue as the General Manager and Managing Partner of this newly formed entity. Nix Industrial recognizes the importance of honoring the heritage and values that have contributed to the Huncilman’s success over the years. Nix Industrial, along with Parker Huncilman, aims to build upon the legacy and continue serving the community with the same dedication and integrity.
