Harry B. Hiatt (1916-2002) was an American industrialist and prominent businessman who founded Rand-Whitney Container Corporation in 1942 in Worcester, Massachusetts, growing it into a leading manufacturer of corrugated boxes, folding cartons, and packaging solutions under the Rand-Whitney Group. After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he built the company from a small operation into a multimillion-dollar enterprise, serving major clients in food, consumer goods, and other industries. Hiatt led the firm as president until his retirement, maintaining its headquarters in Worcester where it became a cornerstone of the local economy. A lifelong resident of the Greater Boston area, he was active in the Jewish community, supporting institutions like Temple Emanuel in Newton, Massachusetts. He was married to Reba Z. Hiatt, and together they raised several children, including Myra Hiatt Kraft. The family was known for its philanthropy, particularly in education and health causes, though Harry himself maintained a low public profile focused on business. He passed away in Boston on December 2, 2002, at the age of 86.
