What Orbit Industries does

Orbit Industries, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of electrical products serving the wholesale distribution market. Founded in 1997 in Los Angeles, California by industry veterans with more than 400 years of combined experience, the company designs and produces steel electrical products including junction boxes, NEMA enclosures, weatherproof products, electrical fittings, spring steel fasteners, wiring devices, and a range of LED, landscape, exit/emergency, HID, and solar lighting products. Its portfolio exceeds 6,000 SKUs across 11 product lines, with proprietary patented items including the Universal Mounting Adjustable Box (UMAB), SSB-TBAR telescoping bracket, and Slab-on-Grade Adjustable Platform (SOG-AP). The company emphasizes labor-saving prefab/pre-assembled products that shift installation work off-site to reduce job-site time and injury.

The company operates from a four-acre headquarters and manufacturing campus in Bell Gardens, California, supplemented by an East Coast distribution center in Morristown, Tennessee opened in 2017, which together enable three-day or less shipping to any continental US destination and a reported 98.7% fill rate under its \"ONE Order, ONE Shipment, ONE Invoice\" logistics model. Orbit runs a hybrid go-to-market: an in-house factory sales team supported by a national network of more than 28 independent sales representative agencies covering all 50 states, plus an e-commerce catalog website. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales to electrical wholesale distributors (who resell to contractors), with secondary streams from prefab/pre-assembled product bundles and a 90-day Quick Response Development custom manufacturing service.

The company sells exclusively through distributors at quote-based pricing with no public list prices, carries UL, ETL, CSA, NEC, NEMA, NECA, NAED, and NEMRA certifications/memberships, and holds GSA, TAA, and BABA compliance for federal procurement eligibility. It is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no publicly disclosed revenue.
