HEICO Corporation HEI

Company Overview

HEICO Corporation is a U.S.-based aerospace, defense, and electronics company that designs, manufactures, and services products used primarily in commercial aviation, defense, space, medical, industrial, and electronics markets. The company operates through two primary segments: Flight Support Group and Electronic Technologies Group. HEICO is best known for supplying FAA-approved aircraft replacement parts, repair and overhaul services, specialty electronic components, and mission-critical subsystems. Revenue is primarily generated through the sale of aftermarket aerospace components and services, proprietary electronic products, and specialized industrial technologies.

The company serves commercial airlines, aircraft maintenance providers, defense contractors, government agencies, space programs, and industrial customers globally. HEICO has developed a strategic position through its focus on highly engineered niche products, decentralized operating structure, and disciplined acquisition strategy targeting founder-led or specialized technology businesses. Founded in 1957, HEICO originally operated as Heinicke Instruments before evolving into a diversified aerospace and electronics platform. Significant expansion occurred after the Mendelson family assumed leadership in the 1990s, driving long-term growth through acquisitions and expansion into proprietary aerospace and defense technologies.
