What Heyco Metals does

Heyco Metals, operating as Wieland Heyco, is a Reading, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer founded in 1969 that produces light and medium gauge copper, copper alloy, and stainless steel coil and strip for industrial customers. The company's core technical capability is precision rolling down to .0012 inch thickness (the so-called Double-O gauge specialty), supported by proprietary quality systems including a Cognex Vision 100% surface inspection line and Wandres Micro Cleaning System on its stretch-bend-leveling operation. Its alloy portfolio spans Coppers (C10200-C19500), Brasses (C21000-C26800), Phosphor-Bronzes (C51000-C52100), Cu-Ni/Ni-Ag (C72500-C77000), and Cu-Ni-Si (C70250, C19010), plus stainless steel grades 301 through 430, supplied in gauges from .0012 to .045 inch and widths from .178 to 17 inches.

The company operates a direct, enterprise-focused go-to-market model in which its sales and engineering teams engage customer engineering groups at the early design stage, supported by Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) trial orders that qualify Heyco into automotive and industrial programs. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of metal coil and strip, toll conversion processing services (rolling, annealing, stretch-bend-leveling, slitting, traverse winding, edge conditioning, roll grinding), and externally plated strip products sourced through outside plating partners. Pricing is quote-based with monthly billing on net-15 terms, 250 lb minimum order sizes, and published surcharges for raw material and energy costs. Customer segments are diversified across industrial connectors (primary), automotive (primary), medical devices, and electronics and telecommunications.

Since 2024, Heyco Metals has operated as a member of the Wieland Group, a global leader in rolled copper and copper alloy products, while maintaining its operational identity and ISO 9001:2015 certification. The company maintains a global presence evidenced by trade show participation in Bangkok alongside TE Connectivity, Molex, and Heilind Asia Pacific, and holds a comprehensive regulatory documentation suite covering REACH, RoHS, DFARS, PFAS, CA Prop 65, and conflict minerals disclosures that position it for military, EU, and other regulated end markets.
