Who we are

Heise Industries services a highly specialized niche market; tooling for the industrial and consumer plastic container market. The company has positioned itself as one of the largest domestic producers of custom designed molds, for the injection blow, reheat and blow and extrusion blow molding industry. The ultimate target markets for the plastic containers our molds produce, are consumer products and medical/industrial devices.

Who we do it for

Heise Industries has developed a relatively large manufacturing capacity for the markets that we serve. We have tuned it to be effective across the spectrum of high and low production volumes. Our marketing efforts are concentrated on developing a large customer base, while catering to a few larger customers. This split personality offers the small customer "Fortune 500" service on his small order, while giving the industries leaders, the responsiveness they expect and deserve.

How we do it

Heise Industries follows a service and quality strategy. To achieve the lofty goals set forth in our Quality Policy for EVERY customers' order, Heise Industries has embraced technology in every aspect of the organization as a strategic weapon. From our first contact with you, the customer, our sales force is equipped with an extensive database of mold specifications to support their broad knowledge of the industry and equipment. This "front end" lays the foundation for our team of experienced designers and programmers, utilizing state of the art CAD/CAM, to translate your concept into precision designs and drawings. A seamless transition from design to manufacturing is realized by our enterprise wide network, which brings the right information directly to DNC machining centers. Our attention to detail touches every aspect of production; from the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) in inspection, to the custom built crate in shipping.

Heise Industries is the embodiment of American industrial ingenuity. Starting with one mans' skill and ambition, the company has grown to be a benchmark in the field. The story is best illustrated by some of the milestone dates that dot our past.

1965:

Heise Industries is founded! Starting with a background in the plastics industry, specialized in mold design, Brooks B. Heise established Heise Industries in Berlin, CT. In 1973 the company moved to its' present location; East Berlin, CT. The original company consisted of 4 men and a quarter century of combined experience.

1976:

Enter the computer age Heise Industries bought into the emerging technology of computer numerical controlled, or CNC machining. Already known in the industry for precision tooling, this new equipment added both quality and repeatability. Now the second and third reorder of a mold set is manufactured identically to the first. This was followed shortly after with the introduction of CAD/CAM to the design process. The door was opened to new levels of design sophistication and cavitation.

1988:

Heise Industries grows up! Two landmark events highlight the year. Unprecedented growth in the company heralded the first expansion beyond East Berlin; the midwest is opened up with the establishment of a manufacturing facility in Grandview, MO. That year also marked the departure of Brooks Heise from daily operations; his son Brooks "Tad" Heise Jr. succeeding him as President of the company.

1994:

Heise Industries goes international! Maturation and growth of the south/central American markets is seen as the next horizon in the industry. A joint venture is established with a successful businessman in Mexico City, Mexico; EB y HEISE S.A. DE C.V. is formed. Sales, marketing, and manufacturing are now represented in this growing market.

1996:

The leading edge of technology. Another industry milestone is established with the introduction of high speed machining to mold making. Capacity and quality explode to new levels at the East Berlin, CT. facility, to the extent that Grandview, MO. can now be refocused into the midwestern sales and marketing center. Reverse engineering technology expanded to encompass tooling design based on any representative sample.

1997:

Demand... in Mexico and South American markets lead to expansion of Mexican operation. Manufacturing shop expanded to 12,000 ft., doubling output.

1999:

Heise Industries builds a new addition. The new 10,000 square foot addition to the East Berlin, CT plant goes up. Heise begins to put together the new floor plans that will improve productivity and the manufacturing process.

2000:

Technology Revisited Heise Industries has upgraded their engineering department's CAD/CAM computers and software systems for maximum interoperability with the rest of the company. Heise has added two High-speed machining centers that will increase the company's mold making production.

2001:
