EH&S Specialist

The Company

Heico has a history of success. Since its founding over 40 years ago, The Heico Companies has grown from a single business to more than 80 separate companies through a strategic acquisition process. Once acquired, individual businesses grow by reinvesting earnings into internal growth. Historically talented at restoring distressed companies, Heico strategically targets acquisitions that will complement its ever-growing portfolio of companies in manufacturing, construction, and industrial services.

Heico’s portfolio of companies are organized into four groups:
Applied Solutions Group, Construction Solutions Group, Industrial Technologies Group, and Metal Processing Group. Once acquired, new Heico companies are assigned to a group and run on a stand-alone basis, allowing for great independence as well as the opportunity to share knowledge about markets, production processes, and management practices across other Heico groups and companies.

Heico continues to seek out new opportunities and maintain its standard of success. The Heico Companies has remained a privately held company since its creation and maintains a majority ownership in each of its operations, which generates nearly $4 billion dollars in revenues. Many of our businesses are certified Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBE).
