Company Background & Culture

Heritage Systems, Inc. (HSI) is a second-generation, family-owned business, establishing our company office in Napa when we incorporated in 1998. We predominantly serve the wine, food, and beverage industries, specializing in water, wastewater, and process water optimization, operations, and treatment.

We are structured into three (3) main departments: Operations/ Project Installations, Technical Service, and Product Delivery. Currently, we have eleven full-time employees who hold various licenses and certifications required for their respective roles.

We pride ourselves in cultivating a small-business ethos in which our employees feel valued, respected, and at home in the workplace. The dress attire is casual, and although we are serious about our business, we have fun in the work environment while working as a team.

We are forward-thinking in our innovation and adoption of various technologies to streamline our business and product offerings to clients. We balance this by also prioritizing a direct approach to relationship-building with our clients, vendors, and suppliers. A phone call or an in-person meeting still has its place in the modern workplace and is a valuable tool in our results-driven marketplace.
