Plastic components and cable accessories supplier Heyco has enhanced its service with the creation of a New Business Development Team dedicated to sourcing noncatalogue components.

If a standard catalogue part is not suitable, Heyco's team of commercial and engineering experts will source an alternative or commission a bespoke solution leaving the customer free to focus on other tasks.

Heyco is known by design engineers and buyers for its extensive catalogue of standard plastic components that meet a range of applications including electronic, marine, HVAC, transportation, packaging and point of sale.

Now with the creation of its New Business Development Team, Heyco can go the extra mile to save customers time and effort and deliver the required solution efficiently.

The New Business Development Team also designs custom-made products.

In partnership with design and manufacturing operation, Axcell (based in New Jersey, USA), Heyco now offers full service engineering, tooling development and production of custom injection moulded products.

Axcell is an extension of Heyco's state-of-the-art injection moulding operations, offering greater flexibility and shortened lead times in the development of steel production tooling.

The partnership with Axcell adds to Heyco's existing custom design capability.

Heyco's experienced design team uses computer aided design (CAD), mould flow analysis software, and rapid prototyping technology to design custom products in a variety of polymeric materials.

Other manufacturing processes available include: extrusion, stamping, dip moulding and compression moulding.

"Many OEMs are looking to reduce their supplier base".

"Therefore, the key to survival in this industry is the ability to adapt to change".

"The New Business Development team makes Heyco a 'one-stop shop' for plastic components".

"Customers can select from a comprehensive range of more than 10,000 catalogue products or call on our team to source or commission the design of the desired solution", says Martin Brown, Managing Director, Heyco.
