Our History
Hilldrup is proud to be a family-owned company in its fourth generation of leadership. Over a century has passed since our humble beginnings in 1903, when we began as a small operation serving the Fredericksburg, VA area.
Under the leadership of Charles B. McDaniel beginning in 1940, a devoted employee who purchased the business from R.G. Hilldrup, followed by Charles G. McDaniel in 1976 and Charles W. McDaniel in 2005, Hilldrup embodies longevity and stability that is rare in today’s mobility industry. In 2015, Jordan McDaniel Hinkebein and Charlie McDaniel joined Hilldrup, marking the first time in our company’s history that three generations of the McDaniel family are working for the company at the same time.
From market expansions to exploring new lines of business, Hilldrup’s 120+ year history is proof that we grow with our customers and clients.
