What EMCO Industries does

EMCO Industries is a privately held, US-based leaf spring and spring steel manufacturer founded in 1990 and headquartered in Claremore, Oklahoma, with 101–250 employees. The company designs and produces a complete line of leaf springs — heavy-duty, light/medium-duty, specialty, and agricultural — plus rotary cutter blades (brush hog blades) and axle components, covering spring capacities from 250 lbs to 14,000+ lbs across more than 500 cataloged part numbers. Its core manufacturing process is centered on spring steel selection, heat treatment, and rigorous in-house quality validation through fatigue testing, salt spray testing, hardness testing, and finite element analysis, with complete lot-code traceability from raw material heat number through final product.

EMCO operates a 95,000 sq ft Oklahoma facility (currently expanding with a new 30,000 sq ft automated addition that will more than double capacity), a 200,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Hebei Province, China near Tianjin's port, and sales/distribution offices in Dallas, Texas and Elkhart, Indiana. The company sells primarily B2B direct to OEMs across heavy-duty trailer, light/medium trailer, axle, agricultural implement, and specialty vehicle segments, supported by a US distributor network and industry memberships (TTMA, NATM, TRP International, Farmequip). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

In January 2026, EMCO launched its High-Performance Mono-Leaf Spring — a 22,400 lb gross-axle-weight-rating product offering 25% weight reduction versus traditional springs — explicitly positioned as a domestic alternative for trailer OEMs facing offshore supply chain delays and tariff uncertainty. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, follows ASABE standards for agricultural components, and operates alongside sister company TRP International, which has handled international operations since 1990. Leadership is led by President Tyler Jones and Vice President Marcus Hester (appointed June 2023 to drive heavy-duty trailer expansion).
