  • “As President of Henri Studio Inc. I have worked with Hydra Corp. Since 1988. Hydra Corp. has constructed three buildings for Henri Studios totaling 350,000 square feet, all built in the Wauconda Industrial Park off Bonner Rd. in Wauconda, IL. Having been in the Wauconda area since 1955, Hydra’s knowledge of the local codes and ordinances was very helpful in our corporate planning. I would recommend Hydra Corp., and would use them again.”

    — Mario Prosperi

    President, Henri Studios

  • “Some years ago we made the decision to build a new office and warehouse facility. At the time, we were leasing a 19,000 S.F. building in the Kensington Center Industrial Park, in Mt. Prospect. Our business was growing rapidly, and we needed to double our warehouse space. After an extensive search for the correct property, I met with Fred Holtgren, and we purchased 2 acres at the Northern end of the Wauconda Industrial Park, adjacent to the Wauconda Park District forest preserve. Construction began shortly thereafter and in a few months we moved into our beautiful new building. Fred and the people at Hydra Corp. built a wonderful building, and 10 years later, we could not be happier. I would certainly work with Fred and Hydra Corp again.”

  • “Hydra Corp. was essential to our ability to expand. Our headquarters started out at 60,000 SF, then we added a 40,000 SF addition. A few years later we added 100,000 SF of warehouse space. All of these expansions were completed by Hydra Corp. They did a fine job and I would highly recommend them.”

    — John Lynn

    President, Stack-On Products, Inc.

  • “We used Hydra to build our 120,000 square foot factory in Richmond and I was so satisfied with their work, I had them build my house down the road. Hydra is a well-run company that builds very high quality buildings.”
