About HEICO CORP

HEICO Corp. is a U.S.-listed industrial company traded on the NYSE under the symbols HEI and HEI.A in the United States. Founded in 1957, the company has transformed from a small aviation-related business into a highly specialized aerospace, defense, and electronics group. Its headquarters are in Hollywood, Florida, and its long-term strategy has been defined by disciplined niche expansion, strong engineering capabilities, and a steady acquisition model. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46619/000004661925000082/hei-20251031.htm?utm_source=openai)) HEICO’s business is organized primarily around two complementary platforms: the Flight Support Group and the Electronic Technologies Group. The Flight Support Group supplies aftermarket replacement parts, repair and overhaul services, and technical support for commercial, regional, and business aviation, as well as selected defense-related applications. The Electronic Technologies Group designs and manufactures electronic, electro-mechanical, and radio-frequency components used in aerospace, defense, communications, and other specialty end markets. This mix gives HEICO exposure to recurring, high-value aftermarket demand rather than relying only on original equipment production.

The company competes on reliability, turnaround time, cost efficiency, and the ability to deliver mission-critical parts and services to airlines, maintenance providers, OEMs, and government customers. Its scale, diversified customer base, and broad installed base support a resilient business model, while its acquisition program helps broaden capabilities and deepen its market reach over time.

In 2025 and early 2026, HEICO announced several acquisitions, including the Fuel Containment Business of Axillon Aerospace through its Electronic Technologies Group, alongside additional transactions tied to aerospace components and gas turbine parts repair. The company also reported record fiscal 2025 results, with higher sales and profitability, and disclosed a leadership transition in spring 2025: Laurans A. Mendelson became Executive Chairman, while Eric A. Mendelson and Victor H. Mendelson were appointed Co-CEOs. For investors, HEICO remains a high-quality U.S. industrial compounder with exposure to aerospace, defense, and specialized electronics, listed on the NYSE in the United States and supported by a long record of disciplined execution.
