Glocon

What Glocon does

Glocon Inc. is a US-headquartered custom metal parts sourcing partner established in 1981 in Parsippany, New Jersey, and now headquartered in Denville, NJ. Originally founded as an engineering and consulting firm serving the power industry, the company pivoted into metal parts manufacturing in 1998 by producing sand cast hubs for its own industrial cooling equipment, and between 2004 and 2006 expanded into a full multi-process metalworking platform encompassing pressure die casting (up to 1,000T and 35 lb parts), gravity die casting (up to 90 lb parts), investment casting (walls down to ~0.04 in.), sand casting (up to 300 lb), fabrication, stamping, and extrusion. A comprehensive suite of secondary operations (CNC machining, painting, anodizing, grinding, annealing, shot blasting) and US-based warehousing/logistics are bundled under a single point of contact, supported by a global foundry network across USA, Mexico, China, Vietnam, and India.

The company serves enterprise OEMs across four primary verticals: HVAC (Daikin, Trane, Macro Air), automotive (Delphi), agricultural equipment (AgPro), and electronics/telecommunications (Solectek), with manufacturing facilities certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. Glocon's revenue model is quote-based, custom project manufacturing with multi-year contract billing cadence; its proprietary aluminum-steel composite gravity die cast hub and high-tonnage pressure die casting capacity for large-format components constitute notable process differentiators. The company also operates the SwifterFans sub-brand for industrial fan systems used in mission critical cooling applications, representing a downstream move into branded OEM product. Distribution is entirely direct enterprise field sales supported by an inside-sales team based in New Jersey, with the website serving as the primary lead-generation channel.
