Isaac (Ike) Heller ’43
Founder, Remco Toys and Heller Industrial Parks
Raised on a rural farm as a small boy, Isaac Heller moved to Brooklyn and studied electrical engineering at Tech. Drafted into the Navy after graduating, he was assigned to repair electronic parts on a ship. To idle away quiet moments, he built toys from spare parts. This later inspired him to found an iconic toy manufacturer of the 1950s and 60s – Remco. After selling Remco, he founded Heller Industrial Parks, one of the nation’s largest privately held industrial parks. Mr. Heller has famously said, “Brooklyn Tech made my life.”
