| A Little History
H & H Specialties was founded by John H. Higgins in
1967 in La Mirada, California. The company initially performed fabrication and installation
services for institutional and theatrical products. Several years later,
the move was made to South El Monte, California, and the focus of the
company shifted from curtain fabrication and installation to manufacturing
and distribution of hardware products. The first products introduced were
hospital cubicle and stage curtain tracks. The counterweight rigging
product line was introduced in 1971. About this time, a nationwide dealer
network was established for product distribution. |

ETCP
H & H Specialties endorses the Entertainment Technician
Certification Program (ETCP). ETCP encompasses the creation of exams based
upon identified bodies of knowledge, the conducting of those examinations,
the awarding of certifications, and re-certifying individuals. Personnel
certification is the voluntary process by which a nongovernmental
organization grants recognition to an individual who has demonstrated
certain abilities, skills and knowledge.
ETCP focuses on disciplines that
directly affect the health and safety of crews, performers, and audiences.
Two key areas were identified for initial development - electrical skills
and rigging skills, and there are currently three certifications: Rigger –
Arena, Rigger – Theatre, and Entertainment Electrician. For additional
