What Accurate Products does

Accurate Products Inc. is a privately held, Chicago-based manufacturer and distributor of molded rubber and plastic components, founded in 1947 and operating for 78 years. The company produces custom molded rubber parts (via injection, compression, and transfer molding), custom molded plastic parts (via injection molding, CNC machining, and thermoforming), extruded rubber profiles, die-cut parts, metal stampings, and a deep catalog of standard catalog items including bumpers, grommets, O-rings, seals, stoppers, suction cups, hoses, mounts, and vinyl caps. Manufacturing is hybrid: a US operation in Chicago for plastic injection molding, custom tooling, and value-added services, plus a joint venture factory in China and additional sourcing partners in Taiwan and Korea that ship 5-6 containers per month into a 25,000 sq ft Chicago warehouse for kitting, private labeling, bar coding, and distribution. The business is ISO 9001:2015 certified in the US and TS certified in China.

Accurate Products serves two primary customer segments: OEMs (automotive, agricultural, HVAC, medical, rail, recreational vehicles, gaming, printing, and commercial electronics) and industrial distributors. The company holds Tier 1 automotive supplier status, supplies MIL-spec grommets to defense applications, and operates as a relationship-based, sales-led B2B manufacturer with quote-based pricing. Its go-to-market relies on direct sales (phone, email, RFQ form), a product-rich website, and trade publication presence. Value-added services include reverse engineering, custom tooling design, prototyping, JIT shipping, inventory management programs, and 48-hour fulfillment on standard stocked items from an inventory of over 50 million pieces.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of standard catalog items from stock and project-based custom manufacturing services, with the company shipping 50M+ parts per year. The business has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no public listing, and no recent M&A activity; it operates as an independent family/management-owned enterprise. Geographic footprint is concentrated in the US Midwest with manufacturing and sourcing in Southeast Asia and global shipping available on request.
