In 1979 Hanschell Inniss Harrisons purchased a small meat cutting and packing plant and started operating a department to produce hamburger patties. The first product in foodservice was all beef patties and for retail was "Eve" branded hamburgers. Staffing started with one meat cutter and a manager. Within a few months of starting, a decision was made to build a small plant of 1,200 sq. ft. to expand production. By mid 1980 this plant was up and running, supplying foodservice and retail with fresh pork sausages and hamburger patties.

Within two years further expansion was needed and in 1982 a 12,000 sq. ft. addition was designed and built. Help and guidance was obtained from various sources, especially from Griffith Laboratories, Canada Packers and Schneiders of Canada. This expansion allowed for the addition of hams, bacon, wieners and sliced meats to the existing product range. It was at this time that a separate company, H.I.H. Manufacturing Ltd., was formed to carry on the meat processing operations.

In 1990 H.I.H Manufacturing Ltd. was amalgamated with Barbados Packers & Canners Ltd., a company established in 1976 which in addition to frozen meats also produced canned meats. This new entity became Hipac Limited.

In 1992 Hipac Ltd further expanded its portfolio of products into breaded chicken products such as nuggets, fillets and patties when it merged with National Foods Ltd.

Today Hipac has a staff of over 170 persons. In addition to the traditional range of hams, bacon, wieners, sliced meats, hamburgers, fresh sausages, canned vienna sausages and luncheon meats, breaded chicken nuggets and patties, the company has expanded into easy-to-prepare seafood products such as breaded shrimp nuggets, fish sticks, "Bajan" seasoned fish fillets, and a line of canned Caribbean specialty products such as traditional soups, curries and great cake.

With its motto "Nothing Less Than The Best" Hipac Ltd. has grown from humble beginnings to a company that now produces a wide variety of high quality products.
