Origin

Design-first from day one

Heckler started with a premise that still holds: if something is going to live in a workspace permanently, it should be designed permanently. Not an afterthought bolted to a wall. Not a commodity bracket hidden behind a screen. A considered piece of infrastructure that belongs in the room.

Since founding, the company has grown from a single product line into a full catalog of AV infrastructure spanning tablet enclosures, display mounts, AV walls, lecterns, credenzas, and modular collaboration frameworks. Every product is designed, prototyped, and fulfilled from a purpose-built facility in Phoenix.

Philosophy

The three fits

Every product decision at Heckler is measured against a simple framework.

CNC precision manufacturing
Close-up of CNC router cutting sheet metal with sub-millimeter precision — sparks, clean edges, focus on engineering tolerance.

It fits together

Engineering precision from first prototype to final assembly. CNC-first manufacturing eliminates tooling constraints, enabling continuous iteration on real production equipment.

Device compatibility

It fits your devices

Designed around the technology ecosystem, not the other way around. Validated compatibility with the platforms that run modern workspaces — from iPad to Microsoft Teams Rooms to Zoom.

Workspace integration
Heckler credenza installed in a finished executive boardroom — furniture-grade aesthetic, integrated with room decor, ADA-compliant placement. Wide shot, architectural feel.

It fits your workspace

Furniture-grade aesthetics for environments where appearance matters. ADA and TAA compliance designed in from inception, not retrofitted after the fact.

The AV Wall System from Heckler checks all the boxes. Well thought out wire management ensures you only see the modern design of the product. A slim footprint that complements any office space. Easy to install and built to last.

Capabilities

Built different, by design

Heckler operates a tooling-avoidant, CNC-led manufacturing platform. Where competitors invest months and hundreds of thousands of dollars in single-purpose molds, Heckler moves from concept to production in weeks — using the same equipment for prototypes and finished goods.

Rapid Development

Concept to production in weeks, not months. Digital-file-driven iteration enables continuous improvement without tooling reinvestment.

In-House Production

Plastic manufacturing, textile finishing, paneling, assembly, and fulfillment under one roof in a 24,500 sq ft purpose-built facility.

Flat-Pack Logistics

Products engineered to ship in component form, reducing dimensional weight and freight cost while expanding viable shipping economics globally.

Specification-Driven

Products written into room standards at Fortune 100 companies, universities, and government agencies — creating durable, repeatable demand.
