The Longer Lasting Gage H. E. Morse Co. was founded in 1946 and shortly thereafter a unique plating process was developed. During the Korean War, H.E. Morse Co. began manufacturing thread plug gages for the U.S. government. The unique plating process was applied to chrome plating of the gages, giving them up to 400% longer life than standard tool steel gages. The organization, now commonly known as Hemco or Hemco Gage, manufactures a full line of fixed limit gages and variable gages. Hemco manufactures and markets the Ekonogage by Hemco gage pin line. Hemco also manufactures gages to American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications and is one of only two manufacturers in the United States licensed to manufacture API Master Gages. Hemco’s products are recognized throughout the world for their longer life and outstanding quality. Hemco’s manufacturing facility is located in Holland, MI, USA. We are a Veteran Friendly organization. We have pledged our support for the National Guard and the Reserves through ESGR.
