ITC Manufacturing

What ITC Manufacturing does

ITC Manufacturing is a US-based, family-owned producer of wire mesh and steel solutions serving material handling, warehouse storage, and a growing set of industrial applications. The company operates from two manufacturing facilities totaling 900,000 square feet: a 250,000 square foot plant in Phoenix, Arizona, and a 650,000 square foot plant in Columbus, Ohio. The dual-site footprint enables cost-effective outbound freight to the West Coast, Eastern US, and Midwest population centers, with cross-border shipping capability to Mexico and Canada. Manufacturing is performed in-house, combining skilled engineers and labor with high-tech automated machines, robotic fabrication, and an electrostatic powder coating system cured in an infrared convection oven. ITC's product portfolio spans wire mesh decking in standard, light-duty, and heavy-duty configurations; hanging and standing dividers with R-hook and footplate innovations; industrial mesh for mining, reinforcement, and architectural uses; pallet supports; backstops; and custom fabricated wire products for retail storefronts, municipal projects, riverwalks, gabions, and decorative installations. Products are manufactured to meet or exceed ANSI MH26.2 capacity specifications.

The company operates a sales-led, channel-driven go-to-market. The primary revenue stream is hardware sales of manufactured wire and steel products, with pricing conducted quote-by-quote with no public price list. Three distribution channels capture demand: a network of more than 2,500 material handling distributors who stock ITC SKUs for on-demand fulfillment; thousands of systems integrators who specify ITC in warehousing and distribution project bids ranging from 7 to 70 truckloads; and direct enterprise relationships with major national retailers. Named direct enterprise customers include Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and IKEA. Beyond traditional storage, the company markets into e-commerce, cold storage, beverage and grocery, pharmaceutical, data center, and fulfillment verticals. Strategic emphasis is placed on US manufacturing origin, lightest-in-class deck engineering, ANSI compliance, and dual-facility shipping economics as competitive differentiators against imports and substitute materials such as particle board.

ITC is privately held and was founded as a powder coating shop in Phoenix, Arizona, with sources citing founding years of 1993 and 1995 (timeline narrative attributes 1995 with reference to the company's first location). Ownership rests with Johnnie and Joy Caldwell, with operational leadership held jointly by co-CEOs AriAnne Berberian and Greg Tilton. Headcount is reported at 251-500 employees. The company has no disclosed subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and no public listing. Marketing activity centers on a content-rich company website, downloadable brochures, and trade show participation including Modex 2024.
