Zierick Manufacturing

What Zierick Manufacturing does

Zierick Manufacturing Corporation is a third-generation, family-owned US precision metal stamping and electronic connector manufacturer founded in 1919 and headquartered at 131 Radio Circle, Mt. Kisco, NY. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnection components organized into four product categories: Surface Mount products (35 SKUs), Through Hole products (62 SKUs), Hardware Components (144 SKUs), and Assembly Equipment (9 SKUs), for a catalog of approximately 260 SKUs. Its differentiated technology base includes the award-winning Torsion-Lok insulation displacement connector, Stable-Lok and Accu-Lok patented mounting technologies, the TapeResist solder masking system (U.S. Patent No. 5,495,669), and Accu-Pak receptacles engineered to tolerate lateral and angular misalignment. Manufacturing is conducted in an ISO 9001:2015 certified (June 2024 to June 2027) single US facility with RoHS, REACH, and UL-recognized component compliance.

The company sells primarily to industrial equipment (automation, controls) and automotive electronics customers, with secondary applications in power conversion and appliances, medical devices, consumer electronics, aerospace, and lighting systems. Its revenue model is built on catalog hardware sales of standard and custom connectors and hardware, supplemented by custom design consultation, prototyping, tooling, plating, and board-stuffing services. Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led through Regional Sales Managers and Manufacturer's Reps/Distribution in North America, complemented by International Sales Agents covering 25+ countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific (including Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan, China, India), Israel, and Turkey, plus direct engineering support from Mount Kisco. Recent product development includes the Vol-Conn product line showcased at Productronica 2025 and the Part 1307 Surface Mount Fine Wire Connector launched in October 2025.

Ownership and leadership are stable: CEO Gretchen Zierick is the founder's granddaughter; President John Huntley (joined 2017, ex-STANLEY Engineered Fastening) leads operations and growth strategy; VP & CFO Joe Turcott (since 2009) oversees finance and people; VP Sales Patrick O'Callaghan (since 1997) leads global sales; and VP Logistics Erin Lynster (since 2013) manages the factory flow. The company reports no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity, operating as an independent privately held corporation with no disclosed revenue or headcount.

Products and services

• Torsion-Lok® Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) Award-winning insulation displacement connector featuring high-deflection contact beams that permit wire movement and withstand repeated mating cycles, harsh conditions including high vibration and temperature cycling; available in loose and reeled formats for #30 AWG through #14 AWG wire sizes.
• Accu-Pak® PCB-Mountable Receptacles Receptacles providing reliable PCB-to-PCB, PCB-to-Component, and PCB-to-Lead Wire interconnections; feature exclusive contact spring technology to withstand repeated mating cycles and handle lateral misalignment of 0.012" and angular misalignment of ±10°.
• Stable-Lok® Mounting Technology Patented terminal mounting technology that doubles terminal strength against fracture or mounting leg breakage by shifting pivot points outward for stabilizing resistive torque; available in 0.187", 0.205", and 0.250" application sizes.
• Accu-Lok™ Mounting Technology Exclusive 0.110" mounting method that ends the need for tight mounting-hole tolerances; retention is accomplished through controlled splitting and forming of the terminal leg, eliminating stress and withstanding repeated mating, withdrawal, and shock.
• TapeResist® Solder Masking Technology Patented solder masking technology using pre-applied 0.001" (0.03mm) thick polyester film as a solder resist agent to prevent solder from wicking onto internal contact areas during the wave solder process; U.S. Patent No. 5,495,669.
• Surface Mount Products Catalog of 35 SMT connectors including board connectors (board stacking, edge), headers, jumpers, pins and posts, receptacles (box, fuse clips, sockets, universal tab), SMT Faston tabs, and wire/piercing connectors.
