What Arlington Industries does
Arlington Industries, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of electrical fittings, enclosures, and components founded in 1949 and headquartered at 1 Stauffer Industrial Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where it operates its primary manufacturing facility. The company designs and produces a broad catalog of more than 25 product categories including conduit bodies, cord grips, EMT fittings, floor boxes, fan and fixture boxes, liquid tight fittings, rigid and IMC fittings, NM cable fittings and supports, grounding products, specialty boxes, siding mounting blocks, mast parts, and a low-voltage cable management line that includes steel mounting brackets and spring steel cable/conduit clips. Differentiated branded product families include CableAble cable and conduit support brackets, CableStop transition fittings, SNAP2IT and SNAP-TITE quick-connect fittings, and INBOX weatherproof boxes, several of which are covered by the company's patent portfolio. The vast majority of products are manufactured in America, and the company emphasizes this domestic origin as a competitive differentiator.
Arlington sells its products through a ZIP code-based network of sales representatives that connect electrical distributors and contractors to local pricing and availability, with coverage spanning the United States and Canada. Its customer base is segmented primarily across commercial construction, industrial facilities, and data centers, with a secondary residential and smart-home line addressing home theater, audio/video, and security installations. The company pursues a sales-led go-to-market supported by product catalogs, a dedicated media portal (aimedia.co), product demonstration videos on YouTube, and an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. End markets are primarily use-case driven rather than named-account driven, and the company does not publicly disclose pricing or revenue.
In January 2026, Blackstone Energy Transition Partners entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Arlington Industries, positioning the company within Blackstone's energy-transition and electrification investment thesis alongside portfolio companies such as Alliance Technical Group, Maclean Power Systems, and Shermco. UBS Investment Bank served as financial advisor and Sullivan & Cromwell as legal advisor to Arlington. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and closing was expected in Q1 2026 subject to customary conditions.
