January 2023, Irving, Texas — Hollman, Inc., the industry leader in locker design and solutions, is proud to announce the promotion of Sue Hwang from Chief Operating Officer to President and Chief Operating Officer. She will be assuming the role from current President, Travis Hollman, who will remain as Chief Executive Officer. This is the first time someone from outside of the Hollman family has held this position.

With over two decades of experience in sales and operations, Hwang’s professional specialties include identifying and developing new markets, anticipating and adapting to trends, advising customers on ideal solutions, and developing fresh verticals. In 2018, she was selected as a Women in Business honoree by the Dallas Business Journal.

Travis Hollman, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We have experienced unprecedented growth over the past few years and are positioned to reach even more milestones in the immediate future. Sue’s exceptional leadership skills will take us to the next level and ensure that Hollman continues to be the global leader in locker manufacturing.”

Sue Hwang began her career at Hollman in 1994 as a Project Coordinator under Founder, Joe Hollman. After nine years she stepped away from the company but returned in 2011 as Vice President of the Locker Division when Travis Hollman took the helm from his father. She was promoted to Executive Vice President in 2015 and Chief Operating Officer in 2019 where she oversaw sales, marketing, manufacturing operations, and project management. Under her leadership, the company has continued to expand into new verticals ranging from fitness to a full range of athletics, workspace, and specialty lockers. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from the University of Texas at Austin.

According to Hwang, “I am truly honored to be the first President of Hollman, Inc. from outside of the Hollman family. My goal is to continue building upon and leveraging the innovative competitive advantages that have allowed us to become the largest global locker manufacturer and solution provider. Hollman is in a unique position of continued growth across all market verticals thanks to a top-notch management team closely aligned with the company’s vision and core values. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead while having fun along the way.”

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.”
