Haemar

Modern aircraft manufacturing is built on precision. Every fastener must be tightened to an approved value, every electrical connection must be crimped without damage, and every clamp must withstand years of vibration and environmental stress. The tooling behind these processes is not optional, it is fundamental to airworthiness.

Heamar supports this high-stakes environment by supplying world-leading aerospace tooling brands including Ingersoll Rand, DMC, IDEAL Industries, BAND-IT, and Klauke. Each brand plays a critical role in the production, assembly, and maintenance of today’s advanced aircraft.
