thought in his mind. Gene and his wife, Edna, started the business with faith, a vision, and
limited capital. Opening their -rst shop behind their home in Thomasville, Georgia in 1967,
then founding Hurst Boiler & Welding Company, Inc. in nearby Coolidge, where the Hurst family
continues to own and operate it today. They have been at this location since 1970, and
manufacture a full line of solid waste, wood, gas, coal and oil -red steam and hot water boilers

In 2007, the company celebrated the its 40th Anniversary. Gene always believed a man’s word
was his bond, and he steadfastly stood behind whatever he committed to. He was always the
-rst to tell you his success should be attributed to his faith, his family's support, and their
many dedicated team members and customers . Hurst Boiler has come a long way since their
-rst shop, and the manufacturing facility and campus now encompasses 17 acres, allowing
them to manufacture a large variety of boilers and equipment to meet the diverse conditions
and requirements of customers around the world. In 2007 they completed a large expansion
doubling their manufacturing space. Continued strong sales have now prompted further
construction, bringing the total size of the manufacturing facility to 314,000 square feet. With
the current expansion, Hurst now maintains over 350 employees at full production capacity.

Gene Hurst was surely a visionary of the boiler industry, and one of the -nest gentlemen to
ever live. Anyone who knew him, in whatever capacity, would certainly agree he was the
kindest, most humble, and inspiring individual they had ever had the honor to know. He was a
shining example to us all, and today we mourn the loss of that guiding light.
