Company History
In 1912, E.C. Hunt's vision laid the foundation for HunTel. His foresight helped create one of the Midwest's most resourceful, diverse, and respected companies.

Hunt's son, Emory, adopted his father's innovative style. He nurtured the young company through the middle of the 20th century before passing the torch to his two sons, Hugh and Richard.

This generation of Hunts found that by expanding the core business beyond local exchange telephone service, HunTel could better meet its own internal needs while offering more comprehensive services to its growing customer base. Today, HunTel's interests include communications and technology, engineering and manufacturing, and numerous other business services.

The fourth generation of Hunts - Karen and Dan - continue the tradition of integrity and dedication as they lead the HunTel team. They're constantly looking for new ways to improve and expand the business by focusing on the customer's needs, investing in technology, and accepting new challenges. The work ethic of the Hunt family has been passed from generation to generation. Those standards have laid a solid foundation for the future of HunTel. With a commitment to its associates, customers, and communities, HunTel continues to bring the world home.
