About Havelock Wool
Connect with the Havelock Flock
It is our goal to produce a truly superior building product with unrivaled integrity. We seek to work with those who appreciate the value of alternative building products and a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem. We are actively building consumer awareness concerning “traditional” toxic building materials.

He has lived and traveled around the world and seeks to leverage those experiences in bringing a biophilic, best practice to an industry known to contribute excessive waste to our world.
Andrew is a high-energy individual who is uncomfortable without entirely too much to do. Studies include University of Chicago Booth School of Business (MBA, Finance) and Hampden- Sydney College (BA, History).

Arlan Lilleioen – Production Manager
There is very little Arlan hasn’t experienced and even less that he’s not capable of sorting out. His skill set spans from flying to writing code. There aren’t many others who are comfortable when it comes to the intricacies of our 60 year old, repurposed, insulation production machinery. And lest we not forget he was a deputy sheriff too!

Hugo’s meticulous attention to detail and inherent interest in the relationship between operations, mathematics and statistics make him the ideal QC manager. We seek to manipulate our wool fibers as little as possible, all while delivering a consistent and effective product to the end-user. Hugo employs his skills and interests to every component of our production lines to ensure that this happens.
