About Master Halco

The Master Halco you know today started as “Master Fence Fittings” in 1951. Manufacturing was done in a garage with one small press and some hand benders.

In 1958, according to former owner Donovan O'Donnell, "Master Fence Fittings was starting to receive many calls to handle pipe and tubing and now it was necessary to expand into this field." In August of '58 we started Master Pipe, Inc.

In just 3 years, Master Pipe Inc. proved its success in fittings & pipe. It was now time to move into what Master Halco is widely known for today - manufacturing our own Chain Link Fabric. In 1961, we started Master Sales, Inc. to dive into the world of Chain Link Fabrication.

In November 1964, the first sales branch of Master Fence Fittings was opened in Hayward, California. It began with a temporary office within an old, small, one-room construction shack. But that didn't stop us from growing! As time went on, we moved into larger and larger warehouses.

Olney, Illinois, became Master Fence Fittings’ sixth location and its second manufacturing facility. The company began to manufacture vinyl coated chain link fabric as a logical addition to the existing product line. The Olney branch will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2022!

Master Fence Fittings purchased Halco Fence & Wire. This acquisition added 12 service centers and one manufacturing plant specializing in galvanized chain-link (GAW) fence fabric.

Company names were combined to create MasterHalco.

Master Halco successfully established itself as an international distributor with the creation of Master-Halco Ltd. in Canada. Consistent with our commitment of being close to our customers, these three locations provide an efficient way to service our Canadian clientele.

Master Halco rolls out a new corporate identity as the 21st century begins.

Master Halco announced its acquisition of Canadian Companies Clotures Lasalle Ltee and Clotures Bel-Air Ltee. These purchases increase Master Halco’s Canadian presence through its fence contracting business and home center channels.

Master Halco purchased Jamieson Fence Products. The combination of two such strong companies in the industry sets a path for a long future full of success for the company and their fence contractor partners.
