The history of Heco International
Henning Cornelius
The name Heco originates from our founder, Henning Cornelius. In 1959, he established the company and later within the same year, introduced a groundbreaking invention: an effective machine for renovating scraper rings used in piston rod stuffing boxes, apt for the era. At the time, scraper rings featured a fixed scraping edge – this innovation quickly became the future standard for piston rod stuffing boxes, used in two-stroke diesel engines. Although piston rod stuffing boxes have evolved and improved over time through close collaboration with leading designers, the fundamental principle remains unchanged from the solution Henning Cornelius had patented in 1962, more than 60 years ago.
From past to present
Heco International as it exists today, is the result of the 1988 unification of Maskinfabrikken Heco and Vejle Ringe & Magnetfiltre, founded in 1972 – an important milestone which reflects our long-standing commitment to global engagement. This commitment was further reinforced with the establishment of Heco Mechanical Seals Technology Co. Ltd. in Suzhou, China, strategically located near the world’s largest engine manufacturers. Becoming an integral part of the G&O Maritime Group in 2015 has enabled us to expand our capabilities and services significantly, extending even further than before as the Group’s propulsion management division.
Having a distinguished and rich heritage continues to drive us to uphold our position as the preferred and most reliable supplier of high-quality piston rod stuffing and spare parts for engine manufacturers and designers worldwide.
