Family business since 1908 · The Henry Group since 1976 · Roadrunner Bridge since 2020
About The Henry Group
A family company that designs, builds, installs and services production equipment, from one shop in Greenville, Texas, since 1976.
The family’s work in construction and service goes back more than 100 years, to 1908 and the Swartz family on the Henry side. John Henry Sr. founded The Henry Group in 1976, John Henry Jr. owned it next, and today it is owned by Troy Henry.
John Henry Sr. started the company with a commitment to doing the job right the first time. Its first project, under the name Henry & Suggs, was a mixer installation in Pueblo, Colorado. THG installed bakery lines for baking companies across the country, began building the equipment itself, and in 1981 opened a permanent fabrication facility in Greenville.
Tradition. Vision. Innovation.
Built on a tradition of quality service. Growing with a vision of innovation for the future.
Tradition.
A family business since 1908, and The Henry Group since 1976. Three generations of Henrys have built THG’s work in manufacturing, installation and service, and Troy Henry owns the company today.
Vision.
THG started out installing bakery lines and grew into building them. The same shop added prefabricated steel bridges as Roadrunner Bridge in 2020, and fabrication for data center construction and You Sketch We Cut in 2026.
Innovation.
Two 6 kW TRUMPF fiber lasers for sheet and tube, Haas CNC machining, and bakery equipment with PLC controls, stored product recipes and servo loaders and unloaders.
Since 1976
Our company history

The next generation.
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, John Henry Sr.’s children have joined the business, and The Henry Group diversifies into four divisions: millwright installations, fabricated products, pre-insulated pipes and custom bakery equipment.

Discuss your project
Expertise
THG has installed, built and serviced production equipment since 1976, and done custom sheet metal fabrication just as long. Its engineers on staff design the work knowing how it goes together in the field.
Quality
Equipment, weldments and parts are built in THG’s own 72,000 sq ft Greenville shop. Loaders, unloaders and control panels are assembled and tested before they ship.
Customization
Every job is built to the product, the drawing or the plant: oven widths and proofer layouts, frames, skids and enclosures, and conveyors that fit tight spaces.
Innovation
PLC controls with stored product recipes, servo loaders and unloaders, and 6 kW TRUMPF fiber lasers for sheet and tube.
The Henry Group today
A fabrication shop, a field crew, one company. The Greenville shop builds bakery equipment and fabricates custom sheet metal, skids, enclosures and structural steel, including cable tray and containment for data center builds. THG’s field crews install, relocate, assess, repair and retrofit equipment across the industries it serves.
THG equipment ships abroad too: its pan cleaners have gone to Germany, Colombia and Argentina, among other countries.
The 2000 acquisition of Bakery Services Inc., a competitor specializing in bakery oven parts and services, brought that work to Greenville too, and the shop still makes the replacement parts for THG equipment and many other brands.
THG’s published case studies document its field work from the first assessment to the result on the line.
Our divisions
Bakery equipment and custom sheet metal fabrication have been THG’s work since 1976. The same shop and field crews now serve data center builds too, and two DBAs of The Henry Group, Inc. build bridges and cut parts.
Bakery Equipment
Proofing, baking, cooling and conveying equipment, designed and built in Greenville, installed by THG’s own crews, and kept running with equipment services and replacement parts.
Custom Manufacturing & Fabrication
Equipment designed and built from the ground up, plus custom and large sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting and machining since 1976, built to the customer’s drawing or to one THG’s engineers on staff draw. Data center work began in 2026, and installation is available as a separate service.
Field Services
Installation, relocation, repairs, site assessments, controls retrofits and emergency service for bakery, beverage, snack, conveyor and heavy equipment, in all 50 states.
Roadrunner Bridge
Prefabricated steel bridges for trails, parks, ranches, utility and data center sites, built in the Greenville shop since 2020.
You Sketch We Cut
A sketch-to-part service for custom laser-cut metal parts, with deburring, bending and welding, on the same lasers as THG’s industrial work.
The Greenville facility
Every division works out of one shop in Greenville, Texas, with engineers on staff. Its fiber lasers, a 6 kW TRUMPF TruLaser 1040 for sheet and a 6 kW TruLaser Tube 7000, cut the parts for THG’s fabrication work and for You Sketch We Cut, alongside a 12 ft press brake and Haas CNC mills and lathes.
