Equipto

What Equipto does

Equipto is a U.S.-based manufacturer of engineered industrial storage solutions, headquartered at 225 Main Street in Tatamy, Pennsylvania, and operating with approximately 100 employees since its founding in 1920. The company designs, fabricates, and assembles its products domestically, supplying B2B customers across distribution and fulfillment, manufacturing, government and military, automotive, healthcare, retail, and education end markets, with disclosed customers including Boeing, Harley Davidson, Spencer Gifts, and the United States Armed Forces. Its products are also distributed internationally across the U.S., Asia, Africa, Central America, and South America.

The core product platform is built around high-density mobile aisle storage systems—including the manually operated Mobile Aisle Shelving System, the powered SmartRack Mobile Aisle System, and the heavy-duty PRiMA pallet rack system—that can double (or, for PRiMA, increase by up to 75%) storage capacity within the same floor footprint. This platform is extended by proprietary V-Grip industrial shelving, modular drawer cabinets in over 100 pre-configured options featuring all-steel one-piece welded construction, IBC- and OSHA-compliant conveyor crossover platforms and bridges, secure weapons and military storage (including CONNEX and SATS insert systems), industrial work platforms and mezzanines, and specialty lines such as the Clubstor golf bag storage system. In 2025, Equipto launched Modular Cabinet Mezzanines, which elevate modular cabinets vertically to expand storage without facility expansion.

Equipto monetizes through direct hardware sales of custom-engineered solutions, priced via quote on a multi-year contract basis rather than public list pricing. Go-to-market combines a nationwide direct sales representative network with a website-driven quote request flow, an online product catalog, and in-house installation services. Following its September 2025 acquisition by Ballymore Safety Products—a portfolio company of One Equity Partners and Ballymore's fifth acquisition since 2021—Equipto now operates as a subsidiary within a broader family of safety-focused manufacturing brands, with no job losses reported at its Tatamy facility.
