THE THE FIRST 50 YEARS

A man called Lance Hill decided to make a less expensive rotary clothesline. Together with his brother-in-law Harold Ling, the two men started an Australian manufacturing enterprise destined to grow from a humble backyard operation into a multi-national company distributing a diverse range of products throughout the world. In 1996, the company that began in the wash shed of a South Australian home celebrated its fiftieth year, as the remarkable story continues into the future.

THE LAUNCH OF THE 'HILLS HOIST'

In 1946, "The Hills Rotary Hoist" was launched, and the orders came rolling in. Salvage army trucks were purchased to keep up with deliveries. Progressively a galvanising plant, tube mill and plating plant were purchased to provide independence from outside vendors. By 1948 the hoist was selling for 11 pounds - twice the average weekly wage - and was in such demand that the new Hills factory could scarcely keep pace.

AUSTRALIAN ENTERPRISE AT ITS BEST

1948 saw the launch of an expanded range of laundry and washing line products to supplement the Hills hoist. Harold Ling was working long hours to take the company further. The enterprise already an industrial power in South Australia, wanted to go national. Harold Ling decided branches should be established in the Eastern States. Under the guidance of the Board, Hills' activities were also being expanded overseas, with agencies being established in London and New Zealand. In 1954 the company's activities were consolidated into new premises on South Road at Edwardstown on the former site of Pengelley's Coach Builders. By the end of 1955 all Hills' activities were centralised and materials could now be directed towards mass production.

NEW STATUS AS A CULTURAL SYMBOL

In 1994, Hills celebrated the sale of its 5 millionth Hills hoist, an event the whole country stopped to recognise as a milestone. The "Hills Rotary Hoist" had become an emblem of Australian enterprise. Today Hills employs over 2,000 Australians, and hardly a day goes by when Australians do not encounter a Hills product in their daily lives. As a closing chapter of the first fifty years of the Hills Company, the 1996 Adelaide Festival of Arts chose the "Hills Rotary Hoist" as a symbol to promote and market their programme of cultural events to the world. Held high like a flaming torch, the hoist expressed a celebration of individual effort and Australian endeavour. In a celebration of Australian Icons the familiar Hills Hoist was prominent in the closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. These were tributes to the significant role Hills products have played in becoming part of the Australian culture.
