Since our inception, Helm has been driven by a commitment to excellence in every project we undertake. Our early days began in 1946 as Freeport Blacktop Construction Company in Freeport, Illinois. Over time, Freeport Blacktop evolved into Helm Group, and the rest is a story of strategic diversification, continuous improvement and innovation. Our history chronicles the transformative projects and strategic decisions that have shaped us into who we are today. From expanding into new markets to embracing cutting-edge technologies, we’ve consistently risen to meet the changing demands of the industry. Through it all, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us – commitment to quality, fostering client trust, and empowering our team. Our tight-knit culture and dedication to our craft, our clients, and our communities remains the same. 

Today, as we continue to grow, our past serves as a strong foundation for the future we’re building, because we are People Building Value.
