About Us

For 52 years, Hicet Balloons has continuously researched and developed high-quality balloons, developing and designing a multiplicity of product types. In preserving the spirit of quality from the rubber balloon we inherit-ed, and with a simultaneous determination towards reform and commitment to innovation, the private brand name Hicet balloon manufacturers was born. 

We hope that Hicet Balloons will continue to work hard for the balloon industry in the USA and the world, to research and develop, as well as to innovate, higher quality professional balloons. At the same time, we hope to establish more fun balloon products and use balloons to bring happiness to more and more people.

Balloons are made of natural rubber latex, which is tapped from the rubber tree Hevea Brasiliensis.

The rubber trees produce a milky sap, which is then turned into latex – a one hundred percent natural substance that should never be confused with plastic. The trees are 'tapped' in a similar manner to the extraction of maple syrup – a process that has no harmful impact on the tree's health.

Since rubber trees are grown in plantations rather than their natural rainforest habitat, they help the world's ecosystem. This is because of the amount of carbon sequestration from the environment the trees provide. The rubber production industry is recognized as a 'green industry', which is not surprising when you consider that in just one year, the 16 million trees the worldwide balloon industry requires to take up over 363 million kilograms of CO2 gases from the Earth's atmosphere.

In addition, the major forms of vegetation in tropical rainforests and as such, are helping to maintain the Earth's ecological balance. Instead of deforesting land to raise cattle, people can make a better living harvesting latex.
