Chicago, Illinois-based Heico Companies Appointed Thomas Gerdes as EVP and Chief Information Officer
About the Company
Heico has a history of success. Since its founding 30 years ago The Heico Companies L.L.C. has grown from a single business to over 50 separate companies through a strategic acquisition policy, and by reinvesting its earnings into internal growth and new prospects. Historically talented at restoring distressed companies, Heico now also targets acquisitions that will complement its ever-growing portfolio of companies in manufacturing, construction, and industrial services. These four core operations are organized into platforms: Heico Metal Processing Group, Heico Construction Group, Ancra Group, and Pettibone L.L.C. Once acquired, new Heico Companies are assigned to a platform 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 platforms and companies. Heico continues to seek out new opportunities and maintain its standard of success. The Heico Companies L.L.C has remained a privately held company since its creation and maintains a majority ownership in each of its operations, which generate more than two billion dollars in revenues.
