How Hays-LTI Has Kept the ‘Family Feeling’ for Half a Century
For 50 years now, one of the fixtures in the city of Camilla, GA, has been Hays-LTI. Originally founded in 1970, the company is today well-known for its many agricultural equipment offerings, such as dry fertilizer tenders and liquid tankers, along with exceptional customer service. In addition, says Donna Hays Stewart, one of the Co-Owners and Secretary/Treasurer, Hays LTI customers also appreciate the feeling of family that helps drive the company forward in this day-and-age.
“If there is one word that best describes Hays as a company today, it would be commitment,” says Stewart. “We not only treat our customers as family, but this sense of commitment runs throughout our company, from the way we treat our employees to the family members that are active in making the business work.”
