Heckett MultiServ was formed through the merger of the Heckett and MultiServ companies as a result of MultiServ's acquisition by Harsco Corporation in 1993. With the commitment and support of Harsco we have witnessed significant growth, dramatically increasing the scale and scope of our operations.
