Horwitz-nsi

Harry Sam Horwitz was born in a small town in Lithuania in 1885. He was the
second of five children. The family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1895 and
his father opened a grocery store and the family started to grow.

As Harry grew older he learned to be a dance instructor and also became a
plumbers apprentice. After learning the trade he went into business with a
friend, Tony Miller and in 1918 branched out to create Harry S. Horwitz & Co. in
downtown Minneapolis.

The company grew through the decades establishing the core values of integrity,
dependability, and performance. Harry remained active with the company until
the 1960's after which the leadership evolved from within the company and that
tradition continues today. Horwitz became incorporated in 1982.

NS/I, (Northwestern Service, Inc.) had its humble beginnings in the mid 1930's in
the Twin Cities. Originally named Northwestern Heating, Inc. the company's
focus was converting coal fired systems to oil burning (and eventually gas), and
providing on-going service for the systems they installed. NH/I was purchased in
1960, and the name was changed to NS/I, reflecting the primary focus of the
organization, which was and still is service.

Over the next 30 years NS/I continued to grow, and in the late 1990's became
more involved in HVAC, plumbing, sheet metal, refrigeration, controls, and
piping along with the associated service that those systems required. Its
involvement in all aspects of the mechanical trades continues today.

In 2007, NS/I was acquired by Horwitz Inc. to compliment our efforts in
maintaining a leadership position in the commercial and industrial mechanical
contracting world. Both organizations have moved to our new location in New
Hope, Minnesota.
