Exodus Global

What Exodus Global does

Exodus Global is a privately held, family-owned American manufacturer and distributor of specialty hydraulic attachments for heavy equipment used in scrap recycling, construction, demolition, excavation, pipeline, utility, and mining industries. Founded in 2008 in Superior, Wisconsin as Exodus Machines, the company rebranded to Exodus Global in 2022 and now operates five sub-brands—ShearCore (Fortress shears and concrete processors), BladeCore (replacement shear blades), Connect Work Tools (breakers, compactors, grapples, magnets, pulverizers, and CONNECT 1 telematics), OilQuick Americas (automatic quick coupler systems via a JV with Sweden-based OilQuick AB), and RockZone Americas (rock wheels, crushers, and screeners acquired in 2023)—each with its own e-commerce storefront and distribution footprint.

The company's core technology centers on heavy steel hydraulic attachment systems, including proprietary automated quick coupler mechanisms that enable cab-based attachment switching, and is supported by modern manufacturing infrastructure consisting of nine robotic welding stations, four CNC machining centers, and precision burn tables. Manufacturing occurs primarily at a 117,000 sq ft expanded Superior, Wisconsin headquarters, with additional assembly, parts, service, and rebuild operations in Cleburne, Texas (opened 2021) and Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.

Exodus Global generates revenue through B2B equipment sales priced via custom quotation, multi-year dealer contracts, recurring parts sales across all brands and legacy material handler models, and a growing service and rebuild revenue stream anchored by the Cleburne rebuild center. Go-to-market combines an expanding North American equipment dealer network with direct enterprise sales teams, supported by active participation in major industry tradeshows (AED Summit, NDA Convention, ISRI Conference, IMX). The company employs over 150 professionals, has no institutional investor backing, and is positioning for continued growth through dealer-channel expansion, connected-product capabilities, and selective vertical and geographic extension.

• NPK Construction Equipment: NPK manufactures hydraulic attachments including breakers, compactors, crushers, shears, and grapples for construction, demolition, and recycling — competing head-to-head with Connect Work Tools and ShearCore across most of Exodus Global's product categories.
• Stanley LaBounty (Stanley Black & Decker): LaBounty, now part of Stanley Black & Decker, is a long-established maker of mobile shears, concrete processors, and demolition attachments serving the same scrap recycling and demolition markets as ShearCore and Connect Work Tools.
