Heico Space

HEICO Corporation (NYSE: HEI, HEI.A) has evolved from a small aerospace components manufacturer into one of the most successful growth stories in the aerospace and defense industry, with significant contributions to space technology through its Electronic Technologies Group. Headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, HEICO designs, manufactures, and distributes critical components and systems for aviation, defense, space, medical, and telecommunications applications.
