Hollman, Inc. Victory in Trade Secrets Case

Longhorn Lockers’ Claims Denied

October 21, 2020 – Irving, Texas.  Hollman, Inc., a national leader in the design and manufacture of custom lockers and storage solutions, announced a victory in its long-pending state court legal dispute with Longhorn Lockers, LLC.  

Longhorn sued Hollman in 2017 in Dallas, Texas.  Longhorn Lockers claimed that Hollman had a long history of misappropriated trade secrets and designs from Longhorn and used those tactics to win a contract with the New Orleans Saints.  The Court rejected all of Longhorn’s claims by summary judgment order on October 19, 2020.  The finding; Longhorn had no trade secrets and Hollman did not misappropriate anything from Longhorn leaving for trial only as Hollman’s claims against Longhorn for business torts and attorney’s fees.

Travis Hollman, President of Hollman, Inc., commented, “We believed Longhorn’s claims were baseless from the beginning.  They lost a contract and sought a legal remedy for advantages they could not win in the marketplace.  We are pleased with the Court’s acknowledgment that Longhorn’s claims didn’t even warrant a trial.  Hollman has been an industry leader for 44 years – we’ve installed over 10 million lockers for national sports teams, both college and pro, as well as Fortune 500 companies.  It shouldn’t surprise anyone – especially Longhorn – that teams seek out our designs and products.”

Hollman will be working with the court for Longhorn to compensate for loss of business and attorney fees.

Giving Begins at Home

Never before has the need been so great. D CEO magazine takes a look at corporate citizens and local nonprofits that are making North Texas even stronger.

When the coronavirus season began making its way to North Texas, the region was better equipped than most to handle it – not just because of its extensive medical resources, but because of its robust base of nonprofits and involved corporate citizenry. In recognition of their efforts, D CEO received more than 500 nominations in its 2020 Nonprofit & Corporate Citizenship Awards program. In the end, editors selected more than 90 finalists for recognition – including Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, winner of the Community Hero award.

Travis Hollman, president and CEO of Hollman Inc., believes that education and innovation fuel success. This led him to create the Hollman Higher Education Learning Program, or Hollman HELPS, in partnership with Dallas College. “It was a radical move to offer free education to all of our employees, as well as their spouses and dependents,” Hollman says. “It has been extraordinary to see families, especially those from our plant, take this as an opportunity to change the course of their lives.”
