What OMCO does

OMCO (The Ohio Moulding Corporation) is the largest custom roll former in the United States, operating five manufacturing facilities totaling 700,000 square feet with 50+ active roll forming mills across Ohio, Indiana, Alabama (Huntsville and Talladega), and Arizona. Founded in 1955 by Fletcher Gleason as a single-bay operation in Wickliffe, Ohio, OMCO built its business on the Roll Forming Plus model, integrating custom roll forming with value-added manufacturing operations including in-line punching, notching, slotting, welding, custom assembly, embossing, and powder coating. The company serves OEMs and contract manufacturers across multiple industrial segments: trailer and truck body (with proprietary OMCO XD SCUFF and XD RubRail products), solar energy (through its OMCO Solar division with OMCO Choice fixed-tilt products launched in 2017, OMCO Origin trackers launched in 2019, and the OMCO Star Tracker Control System launched in 2025), automation and material handling, heavy equipment safety (ROPS/FOPS tubes), building products (C and Z purlin), data center power distribution (copper bus bar), and precision fabrication (through OMCO Fabrication, the former Weaver & Sons acquired in 2014).

OMCO generates revenue through three primary streams: custom roll forming contract manufacturing, sale of proprietary solar racking and tracker systems via factory-direct channels, and value-added services bundled with roll forming. The company sells exclusively through a quote-based direct sales model with engineering support, emphasizing shortest lead times in the solar industry and high domestic content to meet U.S. supply chain requirements. Over 12 GW of solar racking and tracking solutions have been delivered since 2007 with 13+ GW of annual manufacturing capacity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and customers include Nucor, First Solar, Create Energy, Heliene, Sunstall, and Pine Energy among other solar industry participants. The company holds ISO 9001 certification across all operating locations and designs and builds its own roll forming lines in-house.

In February 2026, OMCO was acquired by MacLean-Fogg, a fourth-generation, family-owned American manufacturer founded in 1925. OMCO continues to operate as a distinct platform within MacLean-Fogg, retaining its brand, leadership structure (including President & CEO Gary Schuster), and product portfolio while gaining access to shared corporate resources. The combined entity targets engineered industrial solutions, renewable energy infrastructure, and precision manufacturing with a long-term investment philosophy.
