Hydraulic and Engineering Instruments, popularly known as HEICO is an India based manufacturer, supplier and exporter of material testing equipment with operations in several countries. The equipment supplied by the company range from soil testing and rock testing equipment to geo-synthetic testing and gas testing equipment.

More details about the company were revealed to the public by its top executive in a recent press meet held in the city.

“HEICO is the brain-child of the late Sardar Resham Singh Matharu who set up the company in 1972. He was a World War II veteran and previously employed in London for a few years in a technical company. He returned to India to work for the Indian branch of the English company and retired as its technical director in 1972. HEICO was set up under the guidance of Resham Singh Ji. It began as a humble enterprise with only 5 employees. From here, it progressed from strength to strength with new premises set up in 1982 to accommodate a growing company. Resham Singh Ji was actively involved in the company till 1997. During this period, the company reached a milestone by being awarded with the Udyoga Ratna award from the President of India. The company passed on to the able hands of the heirs to the business, Sri. Jatinder Singh and Sri. Gurminder Singh. Under them, the company expanded its operations worldwide with products like Dynamic Triaxial equipment, Loading machines, Cyclic Triaxial equipment, Servo controlled machines and many more,” said an executive.

HEICO offers a range of material testing equipment like those for soil testing, rock testing, cement & concrete testing, bitumen testing, geo-synthetic testing, strength of material testing and railway/ automotive testing. As such, it offers civil testing equipment.

To enhance the scope of services and to offer mandatory/ periodic calibration of testing equipment, the facilities and infrastructure of the company were enhanced. Suitable training was provided to the engineers of the company, both in-house and at professional institutes. As a result, they gained the skills for managing the unit independently. Since 2009, the company has been assessed and accredited by the NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration) according to the standard, ISO/ IEC 17025: 2005.

With a strong infrastructure and sound financial base, HEICO is poised for quantum growth, endeavouring to accomplish a bigger market share. It is on a mission to develop, manufacture and market material testing equipment, with innovative technology for the global market, with focus on customer satisfaction.
