Chase Doors

What Chase Doors does

Chase Doors, founded in 1932 by Chase Blum as Chase Industries, Inc., is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based manufacturer of made-to-order specialty door systems and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Senneca Holdings. The company employs 300+ people across five vertically integrated manufacturing facilities and is positioned as the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of double-acting impact traffic doors, serving verticals including retail/grocery, food service, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cold storage, corrections, postal, and general industrial manufacturing.

The company's product portfolio spans traffic and impact doors (Durulite, Proline, EcoAccess, SRP Gate lines built on proprietary rotational molding of polyethylene), high-performance sliding fire and service doors (Saino and Duruslide models with UL fire ratings up to 4 hours), cold storage doors (ColdGuard swinging, sliding, and vertical lift), and the TMI product family covering strip curtains, roll-up doors, industrial curtains, air barriers, and loading-dock safety equipment. Core manufacturing capabilities include multi-arm rotational molding, CNC machining, metal powder coating, and PVC extrusion, supported by registered patents on the V-Cam Hinge System and the Durulite rotationally molded door design. Differentiated certifications include the first DOE compliant traffic door (R25D), NSF, USDA, UL/ULC, and USPS RE-5 compliance.

Chase Doors generates revenue through hardware sales of custom-configured doors priced per unit on a quote basis, with both standard multi-year custom orders and the Chase Express expedited manufacturing program offering 2-, 3-, and 4-day delivery on select models. Distribution is primarily via a network of regional sales representatives covering all US states, Canada, and selected international territories (including Latin America and MENA), supplemented by direct e-commerce via chasedoors.com with digital catalog and quote-request functionality. Key recurring customers referenced in case studies include Branding Iron (food processing) and a large grocery chain, with no single customer disclosed as a dominant revenue source.
