About Us
HCI is all about...
In 1994, Houston Crating, Inc. was established by Ray Lubojasky, the residing President/Owner. In 1997, HCI built its own full service facility, which it currently occupies. Today, HCI provides service as an industrial export packaging company, preparing cargo for overseas shipping. The company is located in the heart of the oil capital of the world-Houston, Texas. Its seven-acre facility is adjacent to Bush Intercontinental Airports and minutes away from the Houston Ship Channel. HCI's close proximity to the airport allows for time sensitive airfreight to be processed with ease, while slower moving ocean freight can be consolidated at HCI's facility and delivered to various Houston area ports.
Houston Crating operates on a mantra rooted in service. The personnel and working crews of HCI understand that their customers are depending on them to complete a job efficiently, correctly, and promptly. In the same manner their customers depend on their services, HCI depends on their business. It is only through the loyalty of their customers that HCI continues to operate, and this understanding provides them with their motivation, which separates them from many of the other companies in the field. Employing experienced and similarly- minded managers over all areas of operation, HCI has created a positive and proficient working environment.
