On the heels of its largest project ever, the 3,000-piece Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Heldenfels Enterprises has designated November for staff at its headquarters and Corpus Christi plants to celebrate a century of family business. “We have a strong team spirit, most evidenced by our willingness to take on complex, challenging projects,” says CEO Fred Heldenfels IV. “We have always practiced what we preached, stressing good stewardship by emphasizing our core values of integrity, dependability and innovation. [Our] name is a badge of honor that has been earned by each generation through experience, hard work and dedication. It’s a family tradition.”

In 1909, brothers F.W. “Fritz” Heldenfels, Sr. and C.A. Heldenfels founded a lumber and materials business, expanding into shipbuilding at the start of World War I, followed by road construction. Over the past century, Heldenfels has touched practically every major construction arena in Texas, including expressways, bridges, subdivisions, industrial plants, office buildings, prisons, parking garages and military bases. In 1995, F.W. Heldenfels III & IV formed Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc., now specializing in precast/prestressed for building, transportation and marine markets. The producer has expanded into new construction areas, tackling the Cowboys Stadium, plus the Houston TexansÌ and San Antonio SpursÌ homes, Reliant Stadium and AT&T Center. A new Building Systems Division provides complete envelope solutions.

“We see our role as an industry leader and we would like to expand our reputation and markets as an innovative company that provides not only superior products but superior design/build capabilities and project management, as well,” affirms Fred Heldenfels IV.
