Consolidated Metco

What Consolidated Metco does

Consolidated Metco (ConMet) is a manufacturer of engineered components for the commercial vehicle industry, operating as a division of Amsted Industries since its founding in 1964. The company designs, develops, and manufactures wheel end systems (notably the PreSet and PreSet Plus hub assemblies with proprietary integrated spindle nut technology), aluminum and iron castings, structural plastics, brake components, and the TruckWings tractor-mounted aerodynamic device acquired from TruckLabs in November 2023. ConMet also produces the SmartHub IoT-enabled wheel end monitoring system and the eHub eMobility product line (eHub 10, eHub 80, eHub 170) targeting zero-emission refrigerated trailer power and in-wheel drive axle propulsion.

ConMet serves four primary customer segments: OEMs (PACCAR, Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, Utility Trailer, Cheetah Chassis), commercial fleets, the aftermarket replacement channel, and Tier 1 suppliers. The company's products are standard equipment on most heavy-duty commercial vehicles in North America, with 18+ million vehicles on the road containing ConMet components and 30+ million PreSet hubs deployed globally. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company operates direct B2B sales through dedicated regional teams segmented by customer type and geography across North America, China, and Europe.

The company runs 13 global manufacturing locations spanning foundries, machining operations, plastics molding, and assembly, providing vertical integration from casting to finished component. ConMet generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of OEM components embedded in new vehicles, direct fleet sales for retrofits, and aftermarket replacement parts (with 2 million replacement hub opportunities annually in North America alone). The business is privately held as a division of Amsted Industries, with no public revenue disclosure available.
