Elite Fence Products

What Elite Fence Products does

Elite Fence Products, Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer of ornamental aluminum fencing, railing, gates, and engineered architectural products, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Chesterfield Twp., Michigan. The company operates three facilities — its Michigan headquarters, a Florida Division (Hudson, FL), and a Tennessee Division (Murfreesboro, TN) — totaling over 200,000 square feet of storage capacity and serving customers nationwide. Its product portfolio is organized around four grade tiers (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Heavy Industrial) and the COREGard Architectural Products sub-brand, which spans BRIDGEGard (AASHTO LRFD bridge pedestrian railings), ENTRYGard (engineered gate/door systems for institutional facilities), FALLGard (ICC Chapter 16/ASCE-7 fall protection), LIFEGard (ASTM-BOCA pool perimeter security), PRIVACYGard (hybrid, louvered, horizontal, and T&G privacy fencing), and RAILGard/SAFETYGard railing systems. Two proprietary platforms anchor differentiation: the ZipTrack™ aluminum cantilever gate system with enclosed lower guide wheels and proprietary truck assemblies, and the Avalanche™ concealed-fastener fence series.

The company manufactures in-house using 6005-T5 and 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions and applies its own powder-coating finish meeting or exceeding AAMA 2604 specifications (versus the AAMA 2603 baseline typical in the industry), with nine standard colors and custom color matching across the full product line. Commercial model is project-based direct sales plus a dealer/installer network: customers request quotes via the website, toll-free numbers at each division, or email, with all pricing handled on a custom basis (no standard price list is published). Customer segments span residential homeowners, light commercial and multi-family property managers, industrial and heavy-industrial facilities, municipal and government infrastructure buyers, and architectural/railing projects. The company is family-owned (CEO Karl Stinson), private, and has no disclosed institutional investors, with revenue and headcount not publicly reported but estimated in the low tens of millions USD based on facility footprint, multi-state distribution, and product breadth.

Elite goes to market through three primary channels: a direct sales motion (website quote requests, field sales staff, customer service), a dealer/installer channel evidenced by long-tenured contractor relationships such as CBS Fence Company, and a government/municipal procurement channel enabled by Buy American Act and Buy America FTA-compliance documentation. Marketing relies heavily on trade publication earned media (June 2024 FenceNews USA 'Top of the Chain' feature), industry association membership across AAMA, AFA, NADRA, ASTM, PCI, and CCI, and downloadable technical brochures and CAD drawings hosted on the company's website. Distribution is domestic U.S. only; products are shipped nationally from the three manufacturing sites with no e-commerce or marketplace listing channel. Revenue depends on one-time hardware sales across the project pipeline, with no disclosed recurring or service-based revenue streams.
