About Hercules Heat Treating

Since 1949, when the founding Rizzo family established Hercules Heat Treating in Brooklyn after WWII, our expert team have been heat treating metal to exacting standards.

We specialize in materials for aerospace, including landing gear, airframe parts. Over the decades we’ve furnished quality parts for major commercial aircraft (including Boeing’s 737, 747, 757, and 767), military fighter jets (including the F18, F22 and F35), and more.

We’re acclaimed in our industry for delivering exceptional craftsmanship with swift and outstanding service. We are an approved contractor with the US Military, and all the “primes” in aerospace, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and United Technologies/Sikorsky Aircraft, and more.
