High-rise focus Target opportunity: HLP Systems specializes in lightning protection for skyscrapers and has a portfolio including all of Chicago’s Top Twenty Tallest Buildings. Sales outreach could emphasize protection reliability, code compliance enhancements, and rapid deployment for high-rise projects.

Regional footprint Sales strategy should prioritize the Midwest corridor (Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa) where HLP Systems has deep experience and established client relationships, offering bundled services for new high-rise developments and retrofits.

Family-led reliability Position value around long-standing, family-owned operations with a heritage of safety, quality assurance, and efficient execution to win projects that require trusted, stable partners for sensitive skylines and premium clients.

Tech-enabled Leverage HLP Systems’ tech stack strengths in cloud services, automation, and web presence to propose digital project onboarding, remote monitoring, and streamlined documentation workflows that reduce risk and speed approvals.

Growth signals With revenue in the low to mid millions and a proven track record on iconic landmarks, present opportunities for expand-from-core lightning protection into adjacent grounding, surge protection, and maintenance contracts for existing installations across the region.
