The company operates from its headquarters and manufacturing facility at 18 Rutgers Avenue in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, and serves customers across aerospace, defense, medical, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, electronics, power generation, food processing, mining, and architectural industries. Named customers include the US Department of Defense, US Department of Energy, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; company products have supported government initiatives including CDC filtration efforts against the Zika virus.

The company's core product lines are woven wire cloth, filter wire cloth, precision welded wire cloth, and wire mesh filter discs, produced on modern computer-controlled looms capable of weaving widths from 2 to 88 inches. Belleville maintains a full fabrication division offering cutting, rolling, slitting, punching, forming, calendering, water jet cutting, welding (resistance, TIG, MIG, Heli-Arc), and brazing (induction, torch). The company works across a broad range of specialty alloys including Niobium, Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Monel, Nickel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hastelloy, Tantalum, Tungsten, and Molybdenum, as well as non-metallic materials in wire form. The firm holds Nadcap AC7110/1, AS9100 Rev D, ISO 9001:2015, DFARS 225.872-1, and ITAR registrations.

Belleville operates a direct sales model with quote-based pricing and a $200 minimum order, complemented by complimentary stainless steel samples upon request. Distribution is conducted through phone, email, and web-based inquiry channels, with sales led by specification-driven engagement for custom alloys and mesh configurations. The company has emphasized domestic US manufacturing and supply chain resilience, particularly in the 2020s, and maintains flexible production scheduling to accommodate both prototype and full-scale production runs. In 2017, the company was recognized as the Top Manufacturer in the Screen Mesh Industry by Daily Commerce News and was a finalist for the New Jersey Manufacturer of the Year.
