Days Corporation

What Days Corporation does

Days Corporation, doing business as EQ United, is a privately-held, multi-division industrial distribution and services company headquartered at 19300 Grange Street, Cassopolis, Michigan. Founded in 1913 in Elkhart, Indiana as a drayage delivery operation using a horse and wagon, the company has operated continuously for over a century and now spans four branded divisions: EQ Logistics (logistics services), EQ Outdoors (outdoor products and services), EQ Systems (systems solutions), and EQ Harness (harness products). Each division operates its own digital storefront, with the parent entity Days Corporation retained as the legal name. The company is led by Jim Sproatt as President and CEO.

The company's revenue mechanics are not disclosed in available source material; the firm appears to generate revenue through the sale and distribution of professional products and services across multiple verticals (logistics, outdoor, systems, harness). Customer segments are described horizontally across "various industries" rather than concentrated in a single vertical, suggesting diversified B2B distribution across the Midwest region of the United States. The company employs 101–250 people, consistent with a mid-market regional distribution operator. No public pricing models, contract structures, or named customer relationships are disclosed in the input data.

EQ United presents as a holding-company-style roll-up of legacy industrial distribution assets, repositioned under a unified corporate brand. The absence of disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, patents, or certifications indicates an organically grown, privately-financed operation. The technology stack is not characterized in the source material, and no AI, automation, or proprietary digital platform is referenced, suggesting a traditional physical-distribution business model rather than a technology-enabled one. Overall, the company profile points to a stable, multi-generational Midwestern distribution business undergoing brand consolidation rather than rapid scale expansion.

Direct peers

• Hub Group: Midwest-headquartered intermodal and logistics services provider. Direct peer to EQ Logistics given overlap in regional B2B transportation, drayage-style services, and Midwest geographic orientation.
• Patrick Industries: Elkhart, Indiana-based diversified manufacturer and distributor serving the RV, marine, and industrial markets. Direct peer given the same geographic base, similar multi-division distribution model, and overlap in serving Elkhart-area OEMs with components and systems.
• Lippert Components: Major diversified component supplier to the RV, marine, and specialty vehicle industries with operations centered in Elkhart County. Direct peer given the overlapping product categories (harness, systems, outdoor-adjacent components) and shared Elkhart-area customer base.
• LCI Industries: Supplier of components for the RV, marine, and adjacent industries, headquartered in Elkhart County. Direct peer because both companies serve the same RV-industry customer base with component, harness, and systems offerings from the same regional cluster.

Broad incumbents

• Forest River: Major RV and recreational vehicle manufacturer with significant operations in the Elkhart, Indiana region. Broad incumbent that represents a key downstream customer for EQ United's harness and systems divisions.
• Thor Industries: World's largest RV manufacturer headquartered in Elkhart County. Broad incumbent because it sits directly downstream of EQ United's likely end markets (harness and systems for RV OEMs) and shapes the regional demand environment.
• Genuine Parts Company: Large diversified industrial and automotive parts distributor with multiple business units. Broad incumbent that mirrors EQ United's multi-division distribution model, even though it operates at much larger scale and in different end markets.
• Winnebago Industries: RV and outdoor lifestyle products manufacturer headquartered in northern Iowa/Forest City, with strong Midwest operating roots. Broad incumbent that shares EQ United's Midwest footprint and outdoor-products end market orientation, including via the EQ Outdoors division.
• WESCO International: Large-scale distributor of electrical, communications, and utility products with a multi-division operating model. Broad incumbent relevant as a comparable for EQ Systems and EQ Harness-style industrial product distribution at scale.
• C.H. Robinson: One of the largest third-party logistics providers in North America, with strong Midwest presence. Broad incumbent and a useful scale comparable for EQ Logistics in terms of supply chain, brokerage, and distribution services.
