What Hendrick Manufacturing does

Hendrick Manufacturing, founded in 1876 in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, is a privately held, family-owned custom metal fabricator operating through three divisions: Hendrick Perf & Fab (perforated metal and fabrication), Hendrick Screen Company (wedge wire and Profile Bar screens for industrial filtration/separation), and Hendrick Architectural (perforated panels, cladding, sun control, and grating systems for buildings). The company's core technology centers on metal perforation, fabrication, and proprietary interlocking Profile Bar and wedge wire screen construction, supporting diverse hole patterns (hexagon, round, slotted, square) and value-added services including laser cutting, punching, bending/forming, and welding. Hendrick ships products to over 35 countries and serves more than 25 industries including industrial filtration, architectural, food and beverage, mining and aggregate, and metal fabrication.

The company runs a B2B make-to-order revenue model with quote-based pricing, no minimum order requirements, and a surplus raw materials resale channel. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales (US/Canada representative network, quote-request forms), industrial distributor resellers, and downstream architectural specification. Three wholly owned operating subsidiaries (Hendrick Manufacturing, Hendrick Screen Company, Hendrick Architectural) are housed under the Hendrick corporate umbrella, which itself sits within the Etnyre International Companies group of complementary industrial businesses. Ownership has remained with the founding family since inception, with no disclosed external private equity or public market activity and no revenue figure publicly reported.

Commercially, Hendrick positions itself as the first commercial manufacturer of perforated metal screens and competes on 145+ years of metalworking experience, design and value-engineering assistance, lead-time flexibility, and a 95% customer satisfaction score (based on 650 surveys between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019). The business model is hardware sales (one-time purchase of custom-fabricated metal and screens) with a parallel lower-margin surplus materials stream; no subscription, SaaS, or recurring contracted revenue model is in evidence. The firm does not disclose revenue, headcount trends, or capital structure, and the input data shows no evidence of recent funding rounds, mergers or acquisitions, leadership changes, or restructuring events.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• McNichols Company: The largest perforated metal products distributor and fabricator in North America, offering hole patterns, grating, and architectural metal products. McNichols is the most direct comparable to Hendrick's perforated metal and architectural divisions, competing for the same customers across filtration, architectural, and industrial segments.
• Alabama Metal Industries (AMICO): AMICO manufactures expanded metal, perforated metal, and bar grating for industrial and architectural applications. It directly competes with Hendrick's perforated metal, architectural cladding, and grating product lines in the North American market.
• Graepel Perforated Metals: European manufacturer of perforated metals serving architectural, industrial filtration, and acoustic applications. Comparable as a specialized perforated metal fabricator with proprietary patterns and architectural product lines.
• Metalex (Divisions of Hexion): Perforated metal manufacturer supplying architectural, decorative, and industrial filtration markets. Overlaps with Hendrick on perforation patterns, architectural cladding, and custom fabrication services.
• Reliable Metal Products / Western Group: Regional perforated metal fabricator serving industrial and architectural markets in the Western US. Comparable offering of custom perforated patterns and fabricated metal components.
• Wedge Wire Screens (Johnson Screens): Major global manufacturer of wedge wire screens for water treatment, mining, and industrial filtration. Direct competitor to Hendrick Screen Company in the wedge wire and profile bar screen market.

Broad incumbents

• Ryerson Holding Corporation: Public metal service center distributing and processing carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty products including perforated metals. Much larger and broader portfolio than Hendrick, but competes on perforated and fabricated metal supply.
• Nucor Corporation: Largest steel producer in the United States, supplying sheet steel and plate that are inputs to perforated metal products. While not a direct perforated metal competitor, Nucor's vertical integration and scale shape the competitive environment for downstream metal fabricators like Hendrick.
