PennEngineering® to buy Heyco® Products Inc 09 November 2016

PennEngineering® has agreed to acquire Heyco® Products Inc on undisclosed terms. No changes are anticipated regarding Heyco’s operations, facilities, and employees. The acquisition is expected to expand sales growth opportunities for both companies.

Heyco® Products will continue to operate as a separate company under the PennEngineering® corporate umbrella and its highly regarded brand will remain unaffected. Bill Jemison, president of Heyco, will continue to lead the company with the existing Heyco management team. He will report to Mark Petty, CEO of PennEngineering.
“PennEngineering and Heyco share a common culture of solid brand recognition and quality engineered products, with a strong R&D and customer service focus,” said Petty. “This will allow for a seamless transition. The acquisition will diversify the PennEngineering product portfolio by expanding into engineered plastic fasteners, components and wire protection products. Additionally, Heyco will benefit from the wide range of resources that PennEngineering can provide.”
Founded in 1926, Heyco Products designs and manufactures moulded wire protection products, plastic fasteners, moulded components and stamped electrical components to meet the needs of industrial, medical, appliance, transportation, alternative energy, lighting, and aerospace companies. With a well known brand name, Heyco also brings with it a modern, globally certified, US-based manufacturing facility with vast expertise in injection moulding, progressive stamping, over moulding, and assembly processes and techniques.
